Abstract

In each zone of a variable volume air distribution system, terminal satisfaction is determined. Responsive to the determination of the number of dissatisfied terminals, the air handling unit is controlled to minimize the output of the air handling unit while providing a predetermined degree of terminal satisfaction. The determination of the satisfaction of the terminals is based upon a direct or indirect sensing of temperature in the zones.
