System and Method for Climate Control Set-Point Optimization Based On Individual Comfort
First Claim
1. A system for calibrating a set-point for climate control, comprising:
- a sensor network having a plurality of sensors configured to report a climate condition;
a database configured to receive reports from the sensors to generate one or more profiles reflecting at least one of historic climate control information and occupant preferences; and
a controller configured to receive information from the profiles to generate a set-point based upon an optimization program configured to balance competing goals to generate the set-point for controlling climate control equipment in accordance with the set-point.

Abstract
A system and method for calibrating a set-point for climate control includes a sensor network having a plurality of sensors configured to report a climate condition. A database is configured to receive reports from the sensors and generate one or more profiles reflecting at least one of historic climate control information and occupant preferences. A controller is configured to receive information from the profiles to generate a set-point based upon an optimization program. The optimization program is implemented to balance competing goals to generate the set-point for controlling climate control equipment in accordance with the set-point.
