1. A method for generating operational intelligence for a HVAC device, the method comprising:

  • receiving, via a processor, a plurality of ambient parameters with respect to a building at periodic intervals from a plurality of sensors communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the plurality of ambient parameters comprises an inside air ambient temperature, an outside air ambient temperature, and an inside air ambient relative humidity;

    computing, via the processor, a plurality of performance parameters at the periodic intervals based on the plurality of ambient parameters, wherein the plurality of performance parameters comprises an inside air water vapor pressure and an inside air dew point temperature;

    determining, via the processor, a plurality of operation parameters during an unoccupied period based on the plurality of ambient parameters and the plurality of performance parameters, wherein the plurality of operation parameters comprises a condensation occurrence point inside the building;

    dynamically providing, via the processor, a recommendation regarding optimum operation for the HVAC device during the unoccupied period based on the plurality of operation parameters during the unoccupied period, wherein the recommendation comprises an operational state and a dynamic set point of operation;

    and operating, via the processor, the HVAC device during the unoccupied period based on the recommendation.
