Abstract
A controller for heating, ventilating and air-conditioning distribution systems, which includes feedforward and feedback control strategies. The controller has a feedforward control strategy that generates a control signal based on control set points and identified characteristics of the system, and which adaptively adjusts such set points based on changes that are measured with respect to the identified characteristics. The controller is particularly adapted for controlling the temperature during a heating or cooling operation in a controlled space.
