Overview
This project improved control stability for an HVAC setup by tuning loop parameters and validating behavior across operating ranges.
Problem
The existing controller settings caused overshoot and oscillation during setpoint changes, increasing settling time and operator intervention.
What I built
- Baseline characterization of loop behavior under step changes
- Iterative PID tuning with practical bounds for safety
- Test checklist for repeatable validation runs
- Documentation package for operations and maintenance teams
Outcome
The tuned profile delivered smoother transitions and fewer corrective interventions while maintaining target conditions.
Next improvements
- Add anomaly alerts for drift in loop performance
- Add parameter versioning and rollback workflow
- Add scenario-based regression tests for seasonal load changes
