ABSTRACT:
A recovery algorithm for a setback thermostat uses the intersection of the space temperature with a sloped recovery temperature line which approximates the change in temperature as a function of time during recovery of the temperature controlled space from a setback temperature, to determine the time at which recovery to the occupancy temperature should begin. The thermostat starts recovery when the current space temperature crosses the recovery temperature line. A useful feature of the apparatus and method which implement the invention, computes and constantly updates the slope of the recovery temperature line. The update of the recovery temperature line slope is based on miss time, i.e., the time between actually achieving the desired next set point temperature and the next set point time associated with the next set point temperature. If the heating or cooling load on the space changes, the recovery temperature will frequently cross the recovery temperature line at a different time, causing recovery to start at a time more compatible with the current heating or cooling load in order to complete recovery at or near the desired time.
