    Abstract: An control method includes obtaining measurements of a carbon dioxide (CO2) level of a zone and a temperature of the zone. The method includes determining, based on the CO2 level of the zone and the temperature of the zone, a combination if (i) control decisions for an air handling unit (AHU) and (ii) control decisions for a damper of a variable air volume (VAV) unit to satisfy both a ventilation control objective and a temperature control objective. The control decisions for the AHU include adjustments to a fresh air intake fraction of the AHU between multiple values over time, and the control decisions for the VAV unit include adjustments to a position of a damper of the VAV unit over time. The method includes operating the AHU according to the control decisions for the AHU and operate the VAV unit according to the control decisions for the VAV unit.
