Generalizing HVAC Control With Domain Randomized Reinforcement Learning

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 5, 2026 · UTC

Deploying advanced HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) controllers at scale remains difficult because performance often depends on accurate building models or per-site retuning. We propose NOMAD-RL (Neural Online Meta-Adaptation for Dynamics), a general-purpose Reinforcement Learning (RL) controller designed to transfer across heterogeneous thermal zones through a universal, non-invasive thermostat interface. The controller acts on temperature setpoints from zone measurements and forecasts, while a recurrent policy supports online adaptation under partial observability. Our main c
