HVAC Control System
HVAC here stands for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning. Thus, a HVAC control system applies regulation to e.g. a heating. Usually, a sensing device is used to compare the actual state (e.g. temperature) with a target state. Then, the control system draws a conclusion what action has to be taken (e.g. start blower).

Famous quotes containing the words control and/or system:
“Playing at make-believe, the young child becomes the all-powerful person he cannot be in reality. In pretending, the child takes control of his otherwise powerless position.”
—Joanne E. Oppenheim (20th century)
“The North American system only wants to consider the positive aspects of reality. Men and women are subjected from childhood to an inexorable process of adaptation; certain principles, contained in brief formulas are endlessly repeated by the press, the radio, the churches, and the schools, and by those kindly, sinister beings, the North American mothers and wives. A person imprisoned by these schemes is like a plant in a flowerpot too small for it: he cannot grow or mature.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
