    Abstract: Methods and related systems for controlling indoor relative humidity include (a) determining a target dew point temperature based on desired indoor conditions for the indoor space, and (b) determining an initial dew point temperature based on an initial set of current indoor conditions of the indoor space. The method includes (c) determining a target coil temperature of a coil of an indoor heat exchanger of the climate control system based on the target dew point temperature and the initial dew point temperature, and (d) adjusting a speed of air flowing across the coil or a speed of a compressor of the climate control system after (c) based on the target coil temperature to reduce a difference between a coil temperature of the coil and the target coil temperature.

    Abstract: Methods and related systems of detecting a fault in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system are disclosed. In an embodiment, the method includes determining an expected runtime of the HVAC system required to achieve a temperature setpoint in a comfort zone of the HVAC system following a triggering event, wherein the expected runtime is based on a design temperature of a geographic location at which the HVAC system is installed. Additionally, the method includes monitoring a current runtime of the HVAC system elapsed following the triggering event, and comparing the expected runtime with the current runtime of the HVAC system elapsed following the triggering event.
