TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHODS OF PERFORMING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A temperature control system for controlling the environmental conditions in a space, the system including a temperature control unit having a memory and a processor with a program operating in the memory executing the steps of:
- gathering indoor environmental information by the temperature control unit;
gathering outdoor environmental information via a network communicatively coupled to the temperature control unit;
determining a floating set point based on the indoor and outdoor conditions;
determining an operational mode of the system; and
controlling temperature control equipment to maintain the floating set point.
