    Abstract: An control method includes obtaining measurements of a carbon dioxide (CO2) level of a zone and a temperature of the zone. The method includes determining, based on the CO2 level of the zone and the temperature of the zone, a combination if (i) control decisions for an air handling unit (AHU) and (ii) control decisions for a damper of a variable air volume (VAV) unit to satisfy both a ventilation control objective and a temperature control objective. The control decisions for the AHU include adjustments to a fresh air intake fraction of the AHU between multiple values over time, and the control decisions for the VAV unit include adjustments to a position of a damper of the VAV unit over time. The method includes operating the AHU according to the control decisions for the AHU and operate the VAV unit according to the control decisions for the VAV unit.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and correcting faults in direct evaporative cooling units are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, direct evaporative cooling affects a humidity and a temperature of the data center. An exemplary method includes generating expected values for the humidity of the data center and expected values for the temperature of the data center using a model. A fault condition is determined in response to the actual values for the humidity deviating from the expected values for the humidity while actual values for the temperature track the expected values for the temperature, or in response to the actual values for the temperature deviating from the expected values for the temperature while actual values for the humidity track the expected values for the humidity.

    Abstract: A method for automatically adapting a predictive model used to control a heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) system in a building to compensate for a detected fault in the HVAC system is shown. The method includes obtaining an indication of the detected fault in the HVAC system or a zone in the building. The method further includes determining a predicted impact of the detected fault on an operational performance of the HVAC system. The method further includes adjusting one or more parameters of the predictive model based on the predicted impact of the detected fault to generate a fault-adapted predictive model. The method further includes operating the HVAC system to control an environmental condition of the building using the fault-adapted predictive model.
