This chapter describes the essentials of control systems for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) of buildings designed for energy conserving operation. Of course, there are other renewable and energy conserving systems that require control. The principles described herein for buildings also apply with appropriate and obvious modification to these other systems. For further reference, the reader is referred to several standard references in the list at the end of this chapter.
