Abstract
A method for controlling temperature in a building zone to increase comfort and energy efficiency is shown. The method includes receiving historical data, the historical data indicative of the temperature and occupancy of the building zone during one or more historical states. The method includes training a system model to represent a dynamic response of the building zone based on the historical data. The method includes determining a control law by optimizing a policy function implemented as a neural network configured to process the trained system model. The method includes performing online control of the building zone using the control law.
