System and method for measuring occupant-level temperature

Abstract

A method (300) for determining a temperature in a region (220 / 230) of an environment (200) by compensating for heating of a temperature sensor caused by ambient air and / or electronic heating, the method (300) using a system (100), the system (100) comprising: (i) a structure (110); (ii) a controller (130); and (iii) a temperature sensor (120), the method comprising: obtaining (320) a first temperature measurement when the structure is in a first operating mode; changing (330) the first operating mode of the structure to a second operating mode; obtaining (340) a second temperature measurement when the structure is in the second operating mode; determining (350) a temperature correction, the temperature correction comprising an effect of the second operating mode on the temperature sensor; obtaining (360) a new temperature measurement during operation of the structure in the second operating mode; and adjusting (370) the new temperature measurement using the temperature correction to generate a compensated temperature measurement.
