Detecting and diagnosing faults in HVAC equipment
First Claim
1. A method for detecting and diagnosing faults in heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, comprising the steps of:
- measuring internal state variables of HVAC equipment operating under external driving conditions;
predicting expected internal state variables for the HVAC equipment operating under the external driving conditions using a locally weighted regression model;
determining features of the HVAC based on differences between the measured and predicted state variables; and
classifying the features to determine a condition of the HVAC equipment.

Abstract
A method and system detects and diagnoses faults in heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. Internal state variables of the HVAC equipment are measured under external driving conditions. Expected internal state variables are predicted for the HVAC equipment operating under the external driving conditions using a locally weighted regression model. Features are determined of the HVAC based on differences between the measured and predicted state variables. The features are classified to determine a condition of the HVAC equipment.
