Title: Self-Correcting HVAC Controls: Algorithms for Sensors and Dampers in Air-Handling Units

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/973449· OSTI ID:973449

This report documents the self-correction algorithms developed in the Self-Correcting Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) Controls project funded jointly by the Bonneville Power Administration and the Building Technologies Program of the U.S. Department of Energy. The algorithms address faults for temperature sensors, humidity sensors, and dampers in air-handling units and correction of persistent manual overrides of automated control systems. All faults considered create energy waste when left uncorrected as is frequently the case in actual systems.
