1. A tangible computer accessible storage medium storing program instructions executable by a computer to execute a method for configuring a temperature control system of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system controller, the method comprising:
- executing a dynamic calibration mode, the dynamic calibration mode including;
enabling one or more fans in an HVAC system for a fan-enabled time period;
monitoring temperature of a conditioned space determined by a sensor in the HVAC system during the fan-enabled time period;
disabling the one or more fans in the HVAC system for a fan-disabled time period;
monitoring temperature of the conditioned space by the sensor in the HVAC system during the fan-disabled time period; and
determining, by the HVAC system controller, a dynamic correction factor based on the temperatures monitored during the fan-enabled and fan-disabled time periods.

Abstract
Systems and methods for configuring a temperature control system of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system controller are described. The HVAC system controller includes a processor in communication with a memory and a user interface. The processor is configured to determine a dynamic parameter related to a dynamic property of a conditioned space and maintain a controlled environment within the conditioned space by utilizing the dynamic parameter.
