Systems and methods for optimizing control of an air handling unit (AHU) to minimize electrical and thermal energy consumption of the ahu

A computer-implemented method of controlling operations of an air handling unit or a component(s) thereof, comprising:

• receiving a first set point(s) of a comfort zone for defining expected environmental conditions for at least one room/space;
• determining a second set point(s) of a comfort supply zone of an air supply according to at least the first set point(s) for the at least one room/space, the comfort supply zone defining expected environmental conditions for the air supply to be output from the air handling unit;
• receiving information relating to environmental conditions of available fresh air and available recycled air;
• and
• controlling the air handling unit or a component thereof to combine the available fresh air and the available recycled air to produce an air mixture of the available fresh air and the available recycled air at an air mixture ratio having environmental conditions which are nearest to the second set point(s), based on the received information.

A non-transitory computer medium storing computer executable code, which when executed by one or more processors, is configured to implement a method of controlling operations of an air handling unit or a component(s) thereof, the method comprising:

• receiving a first set point(s) of a comfort zone for defining expected environmental conditions for at least one room/space;
• determining a second set point(s) of a comfort supply zone of an air supply according to at least the first set point(s) for the at least one room/space, the comfort supply zone defining expected environmental conditions for the air supply to be output from the air handling unit;
• receiving information relating to environmental conditions of available fresh air and available recycled air;
• and
• controlling the air handling unit or a component thereof to combine the available fresh air and the available recycled air to produce an air mixture of the available fresh air and the available recycled air at an air mixture ratio having environmental conditions which are nearest to the second set point(s), based on the received information.
