Abstract
A heating control unit for a building with a heating system, which includes heat exchangers supplied by a boiler, a loop for circulating the heating fluid including a mixing valve, radiators, a return loop, and a control circuit which receives information on the indoor and outdoor conditions in order to control the mixing valve. The control unit includes elements for predicting and optimizing the heating needs of the users of the building and for providing the control circuit with modified information on the outdoor temperature likely to adjust the parameters of the heating system to the needs of the users and minimize power consumption.

1-12. (canceled)
A temperature control system in a heating system installation for a building by means of using a heat transfer fluid heated by a boiler, comprising an input fluid circuit, radiators, a fluid return circuit, a mixing valve mixing the return fluid and fluid coming from the boiler in order to feed the input fluid circuit, and a control device for controlling the mixing valve acting in a manner so as to subject the temperature of the input fluid to a set point temperature, and comprising in addition, first means for predicting climatic conditions, second means for predicting the interior temperature within the building, and third means for generating a comfort temperature for users of the building, said temperature control system comprising:
- fourth means for optimising the initial flow temperature based on the information provided by said second means and said third means, and
- a circuit for determining the modified exterior temperature, which provides, based on the output of said fourth means and the temperature of said return fluid, information corresponding to a modified exterior temperature (Tem) value to said control circuit.
