Abstract
A temperature control system for controlling the environmental conditions in a space, the system including a temperature control unit having a memory and a processor with a program operating in the memory executing the steps of gathering indoor environmental information by the temperature control unit, gathering outdoor environmental information via a network communicatively coupled to the temperature control unit, determining a floating set point based on the indoor and outdoor conditions, determining an operational mode of the system, and controlling temperature control equipment to maintain the floating set point.

- determining an operational mode of the system;
- and
- controlling temperature control equipment to maintain the floating set point.
A temperature control unit including:
- a processor;
- a memory;
- an input/output unit;
- at least one indoor environmental monitoring unit coupled to the input/output unit;
- a network connection unit connected to a network;
- and
- an outdoor environmental unit coupled to the network connection unit to gather information on outdoor environmental conditions via the network,
- wherein,
- a floating set point is determined based on information from the indoor environmental unit and the outdoor environmental unit.
