A method and controller apparatus for controlling a boiler to supply water to a water loop in a hydronic building heating system is disclosed. The water loop passes through at least one suite in the building. The method involves receiving a suite temperature reading from a temperature sensor installed inside the at least one suite, causing the boiler to heat the supply water when the suite temperature reading is lower than a target temperature by an allowed variance, the target temperature being based on an expected activity in the suite, and causing the boiler to discontinue heating the supply water when the suite temperature reading is higher than the target temperature by an allowed variance. A method and controller apparatus for controlling a boiler to supply water to a water loop is also disclosed The method involves receiving an outside temperature reading from a temperature sensor installed outside of the at least one suite, determining a boiler idle temperature based on the outside temperature reading, controlling the boiler to supply water at the idle boiler temperature in response to a determination that heating of the water within the water loop is not currently required, and controlling the boiler to supply water at a temperature above the idle boiler temperature in response to a determination that heating of the water within the water loop is currently required. |
