Hello Laurent,

The temperature control is the radiant fraction of the thermostat controlling the heating/cooling system.

So if you select 1-Air temperature it is the air temperature that is controlled to the heating setpoint temperature on the activity tab.

If you select 2-Operative temperature then you will find the operative temperature is controlled to the setpoint.

Real thermostats generally sense air more strongly than radiant temperatures but operative temperature control is a useful way to ensure that the building thermal model maintains comfort conditions during the occupied period.

The temperature setpoints on the activity tab generally represent operative temperatures.

Regards,

Andy
