An apparatus and method for controlling the conditioning mode of a climate control device, such as a rooftop unit, that is servicing multiple connected terminal unit. The improved process may include determining a conditioning mode error for the connected terminal units. The conditioning mode error may be an integrated error value that is based on a temperature deviation integrated over the duration of the temperature deviation. The process may also determine a cooling mode error and a heating mode error. The cooling mode error and the heating mode error may be based on the conditioning mode error for the terminal units associated with cooling conditions and heating conditions, respectively. The process may further compare the cooling mode error and the heating mode error, and it may also adjust the conditioning mode of the climate control device based on the comparison.
An apparatus for controlling a conditioning mode of a climate control device, the apparatus comprising:
A method of controlling a conditioning mode of a climate control device, the climate control device providing a conditioning fluid to a plurality of terminal units, the method comprising:
