Abstract
An air conditioning control system and method for compensating for heat gain or loss in an air conditioned space due to window area and temperature differential between outdoor temperature and indoor temperature. For predetermined amounts of window area, as a percent of total wall area defining an enclosed space, the thermostat setpoint or measured temperature is adjusted as a function of the temperature differential between the enclosed space and the outdoor ambient temperature, for example. Data may be accumulated and stored in a controller memory for various types of structures and rates of heat transfer therethrough for various amounts and type of window area as a percent of the total wall area, for example.
