HVAC system having learning and prediction modeling

A heating, ventilation, and air condition (HVAC) system, comprising:

• an HVAC unit configured to condition a zone associated with the HVAC unit, wherein the HVAC unit comprises an HVAC unit controller and one or more controllable HVAC components, and wherein the HVAC unit controller is configured to generate a comfort model according to zone condition data of the zone and HVAC component operational state data collected over time, the zone condition data identifying at least an occupancy state of the zone, the HVAC component operational state data indicating operational parameters of the one or more controllable HVAC components to maintain a comfort profile for the identified occupancy state, and to control the one or more controllable HVAC components according to the comfort model, wherein the comfort model comprises a matrix including airflow, temperature, and humidity values that define a 3D mathematical space representing multiple zones of comfort, wherein the comfort model correlates combinations of the values to corresponding comfort index levels for the zone, the HVAC unit controller configured to control two or more of the values to increase a current comfort level index for the zone;
• and
• a plurality of sensors positioned in the zone, wherein each of the plurality of sensors is coupled to the HVAC unit controller of the HVAC unit associated with the zone, and is configured to sense a condition characteristic of the zone and transmit corresponding sensed zone condition data to the HVAC unit controller.
