Abstract
A system is disclosed for minimizing the energy consumption of an air conditioning system by selecting the position of the outside air damper which will require the lowest total energy input into the system. The system includes sensors for generating signals dependent upon the temperature and humidity of the outdoor air, return air and discharge air, a damper position controller for generating a damper position signal dependent upon these outputs and a control means for receiving said damper position signal for adjusting the position of the outdoor air damper at a position requiring the lowest total energy input into the system for establishing a desired set of conditions.
