Abstract
A controller for heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) equipment operable to affect an environmental condition of a building is configured to obtain predictive models that predict values of an energy control objective and an air quality control objective as a function of control decision variables for the HVAC equipment. The controller executes a multi-objective optimization process using the predictive models to produce multiple sets of optimization results corresponding to different values of the control decision variables, the energy control objective, and the air quality control objective. The controller selects one or more of the sets of optimization results based on the values of the energy control objective and the air quality control objective. The controller operates the HVAC equipment to affect the environmental condition of the building in accordance with the values of the control decision variables corresponding to a selected set of the optimization results.
