Patent attributes
The invention relates to a method for controlling a passive-ventilation system of a building, comprising: determining an outdoor air temperature of air in an environment of the building; determining an indoor air temperature of at least one zone inside the building; calculating a temperature difference by subtracting the determined outside air temperature from the determined indoor air temperature; and, if the calculated temperature difference is greater than zero, controlling a state of at least one passive-ventilation device of the passive-ventilation system to be in any of a closed state, an open state, and one of one or more intermediate states between closed and open state. Each of the states corresponds to one value of an opening fraction value of the at least one zone inside the building varying between 0 and 1.
