Method for determining a temperature set point for a thermostat device, and thermostat controller for a thermostat. The method comprising receiving an initial temperature set point value, and determining an optimal set of parameter values based on an iterative model by solving the iterative model until a Predicted Mean Vote parameter is equal to zero, using the initial temperature set point value and seed value ranges for the set of parameters, the set of parameters comprising a metabolic rate, a relative humidity, a relative air velocity and a clothing level. The method further comprises changing the temperature set point (ta) in the iterative model while maintaining the set of parameter values constant until a Predicted Mean Vote parameter of the iterative model is at a predetermined comfort level value, and selecting the determined temperature set point as an actual temperature set point for the thermostat device. |
