Abstract:
A system and method for a controller of economizers operatively connected to HVAC equipment. The controller is adapted to maintain the temperature within a facility based on inside air setpoints and outside air setpoints. The controller receives inside air temperature readings and compares them to inside air setpoints in order to determine the cooling demand for the facility. The controller also receives outside air temperature readings and compares them to outside air setpoints in order to determine which economizers may be activated. The outside air setpoints may be dynamically adjusted to adapt and meet the cooling demand of the facility. The controller compares the outside air setpoints to predetermined maximum and minimum setpoints in order to determine whether to adjust the outside air setpoints.
