|---|---|
| optimum outcome of a control strategy is that it fulfills the requirements of the sequence of operations,like maintaining a comfortable indoor environment or providing lighting, while minimizing energy use, manual interaction, and equipment wear and tear | True |
| What is the most common building automation control strategy? | Setpoint control |
| _____ control uses setpoint values that are active during the unoccupied mode of a building automation system | Setback |
| What common control strategy is used to alternate the operation of two or more similar pieces of equipment in the same system? | Lead/lag control |
| What control strategy calculates an average value from multiple inputs and then uses it in control decisions? | Averaging control |
| ______ is the portion of controller software that produces the calculated outputs based on the inputs. | Control logic |
| What type of algorithm is commonly used in building automation systems? | Adaptive, Derivative, Integral, and Proportional |
| _____ is a control algorithm in which the output is in direct response to the amount of offset in the system. | Proportional control |
