Abstract (en)
The present invention provides an HVAC control system (10) for controlling the temperature in at least one area of a building. The HVAC control system (10) comprises at least one user input interface (2) for receiving a setting from at least one occupant, at least one temperature control means (1) for controlling the temperature in the at least one area, and a control and communication unit (3) comprising a processor (4) for controlling the at least one temperature control means (1) to set a presence temperature setting (T<sub>PRES</sub>) and an away temperature setting (T<sub>AWAY</sub>) respectively for when the at least one occupant is present in the at least one area or is not present in the at least one area. The HVAC control system (10) furthermore comprises means (6) for tracking activity by the at least one occupant in the at least one area. The processor (4) is further adapted to automatically send a signal to the temperature control means (1) to adapt the presence temperature setting (T<sub>PRES</sub>) to at least an activity_high temperature setting (T<sub>ACT_HIGH</sub>) upon receiving a signal indicative of activity in the at least one area, or to an activity_low temperature setting (T<sub>ACT_LOW</sub>) upon no longer receiving a signal representative of activity from the means (6) for detecting activity, and in response thereto the temperature in the at least one area is automatically and directly set to respectively the activity_high temperature setting (T<sub>ACT_HIGH</sub>) or the activity_low temperature setting (T<sub>ACT_LOW</sub>), so that it becomes more comfortable for the occupant.
