1. A method of generating control commands to coordinate roof top unit (RTU) operation across a segment of a building, the method comprising:

  • a server (120) selecting a first segment (106, 108) from a plurality of building segments, each building segment being a volumetric portion of the building, and the server located remote from the building;

    accessing a first model algorithm (134) corresponding to the first segment;

    training the first model by applying at least one of historical data (133), segment layout records (138), and heating/ventilation/cooling (HVC) configuration (136), the segment layout data, and the HVC configuration each containing data corresponding to the first segment;

    pushing the trained first model to a wireless area controller edge device (114), the wireless area controller edge device being in communication with one or more thermostats positioned in the first segment;

    optimizing the trained first model using aggregated monitored data, the monitored data provided by sensors (110, 112) distributed in the first segment;

    generating control commands to coordinate the operation of the one or more thermostats (110) in the first segment;

    providing the generated control commands to the one or more thermostats in the first segment;

    receiving monitored data (139) from first segment sensors;

    aggregating the received monitored data; and

    the wireless area controller edge device performing at least one of an optimization and an update to the first model with the aggregated received data.
