The apparatus controlling operation of a digital thermostat mounted in an enclosure corrects the internally measured temperature for heat generated within the thermostat enclosure by the switching element controlling operation of the load, typically a HVAC unit. The actual ambient temperature is derived by subtracting from the internal temperature a correction value which follows the fraction of total time the switching element conducts power for the HVAC unit (duty cycle). The duty cycle is preferably multiplied by a scale factor and the difference between the ambient temperature as currently calculated and the internal temperature to form the correction value.
