A lot of Rooftop Unit (RTU) controls typically take an on/off command from the Building Management System (BMS) and the BMS programming will have a deadband range (+/- 2°F) in which no action will occur to prevent the repeated cycling of RTUs.
- danans 9y agoMakes sense. IIRC smart thermostats also have this sort of feature to prevent excessive cycling of home HVAC.
