Abstract:
1. A method for operating a climate control system for a zone of a building, comprising the steps of: determining sensible cooling and heating rates for the climate control system using temperature differences at an inlet and outlet of an evaporator; determining moisture absorption, moisture desorption, ventilation influences, human activities, and condensation at the evaporator; determining humidity differences and temperature differences as driving forces for moisture absorption and the moisture desorption at the interior fabrics, where the temperature difference is obtained from a thermal circuit model; and determining a latent cooling rate using the humidity differences, wherein the model integrates a temperature model and a humidity model for jointly predicting a temperature and humidity for operating the climate control system acquiring temperatures Tz and humidities h determining a mass transfer process to operate the climate control system, where k 1 and k 2 are weights.
