The actual equation that the controller uses to calculate
Learning Adaptive Optimal Start
is nonlinear. An
approximation of the result is shown below.

Temperature Compensated Optimal Start
is a second start method used for gas or electric heating applications. It
switches from unoccupied to the occupied setpoints at a calculated time prior to occupancy. This minimizes the
operation of the unit’s fan. The Optimal Start recovery period may begin as early as 4 hours prior to occupancy.
The time at which the setpoints move is based on the difference between the current space temperature and the
desired setpoint, multiplied by the "K" factor, or recovery rate, for the required mode of operation.
The following conditions must be true for Temperature Compensated Optimal Start to operate:
