Abstract

A system is disclosed for detecting faults in an environmental control system for a building zone. The system includes a circuit configured to determine that a fault exists based on a comparison of the current value for the climate condition in a heating state and the estimate of the climate condition at which a transmission from the heating state to the no heating state is expected to be caused by a finite state machine of the system.
