Abstract
A method for improving the effectiveness of a building air circulation system having motorized blower and a contamination filter. The method including predicting a cost of operation of the system over an operational duration based on at least electricity consumption of the motor (115), and an operational cost to operate the filter (148), predicting a cost of maintenance of the system over the operational duration based on at least one of, a condition of the filter (148), a cost of a filter (148), a cost of labor to clean or replace the filter (148), and an effectiveness of the filter (148) over the operational duration, and balancing the cost of operation of the circulation system versus the cost of maintenance of the circulation system over the duration to recommend at least one of a filter use/bypass schedule, a filter maintenance schedule, and a fresh air input schedule satisfying an operation objective and an operational constraint.
