Abstract:
A HVAC controller located within a building zone includes a housing, a wireless radio, a controller monitor, a temperature sensor, and a temperature compensation module. The wireless radio is contained within the housing and is configured to transmit data via a wireless HVAC network. The controller monitor is configured to detect wireless activity of the wireless radio, the wireless activity generating heat inside the housing and causing a temperature inside the housing to exceed a temperature of the building zone outside the housing. The temperature sensor is configured to measure the temperature inside the housing. The temperature compensation module is configured to determine a wireless heat rise resulting from the wireless activity, to calculate a temperature offset based on the wireless heat rise, and to determine the temperature of the building zone outside the housing by subtracting the temperature offset from the temperature measured inside the housing.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of heat rise compensation a controller comprising a wireless radio circuit at least partially a housing of the controller, wireless activity of the radio circuit generating heat inside the housing of the controller and causing a temperature inside the housing to exceed a temperature of a building zone outside the housing, the method comprising:\n detecting, by a processing circuit, the wireless activity of the wireless radio circuit; determining, by the processing circuit, a wireless heat rise resulting from the wireless activity; calculating, by the processing circuit, a temperature offset based on the wireless heat rise as a function of both a wireless offset and the wireless heat rise resulting from the wireless activity, wherein the wireless offset represents a baseline amount of heat generated by the wireless radio circuit independent from the wireless heat rise resulting from the wireless activity; and determining, by the processing circuit, the temperature of the building zone outside the housing by subtracting the temperature offset from a temperature measured inside the housing.
