Abstract
Method, apparatus and computer program product for generating a supply stream temperature set-point for a particular distribution channel element associated with a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. In one example, a method includes identifying a hierarchical position of the particular distribution channel element; identifying potential set point configuration actions associated with the particular distribution channel element, wherein each potential set point configuration action is expected to cause transition of the particular distribution channel element from a current state to a future state; determining an overall cost measure for each potential set point configuration action based at least in part on the hierarchical position of the particular distribution channel element, and generating the supply stream temperature set-point based on each overall cost measure associated with a potential set point configuration action.
