Closed-Loop Controlled Electric Space-Heating and Space-Cooling Processes

A theoretical basis for closed-loop temperature control in electric space heating and cooling is presented, which covers all conditions likely to be encountered in practice. This is developed to provide facile techniques for analyzing and predicting the performance of these processes. This will largely reduce empirical techniques in thermostat design, will reduce the cost of developing new temperature controls, and should contribute to the wider application of electric space heating and cooling.
