Predicting internal temperature with or without HVAC

AI Thread Summary
To predict indoor temperature with and without HVAC, the indoor temperature without HVAC is approximately the average of the outside air temperature. When HVAC is on, the indoor temperature is influenced by the building's insulation value and the HVAC system's heating or cooling capacity. For time-varying predictions, knowledge of the building's heat capacity is essential, though challenging to determine. An approximate formula is sought to estimate the indoor temperature after a specific duration, such as 30 minutes, based on current internal and external temperatures. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for effective HVAC control.

Hi,
how to predict indoor temperature with or without HVAC? I have the internal temperature's value, the external temperature's value and the temperature of HVAC's air output. I want two function, one with HVAC on and other with mode off.
Hp: start time 0,
end time Tend.
Tend has values from 0 to 12 hours.
The calculation is approximated. I do not need a detailed formula, but approximated. I apologize for my bad English.

Welcome to PF!

The temperature without HVAC is roughly equal to the average outside air temperature.

The temperature with HVAC is dependent on the total insulation value (in units such as watts per degree C) of the building and the heating or cooling capacity (in units of power, such as watts) of the hvac system.

Those are steady-state values. For time varying, you need to know the heat capacity of the building in watts per degree C...which is really difficult.

What is the purpose of your questions?

Thank you,
I want to realize a HVAC's control; I need an approximate formula to predict indoor temperature. For example, internal temperature is 24 degrees, the HVAC is OFF and the external temperature is 18 degrees. Which is temperature after 30 minutes? This is the first form of prediction. The correct prediction is made with another form. The approximation can be great. How can I do?
 
Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'
I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
