How does indoor/outdoor control of a hot water boiler work?

Indoor/outdoor control of a hot water boiler involves using an outdoor temperature sensor to adjust the boiler’s output based on the outdoor temperature. This is typically done through a reset schedule, where the boiler’s setpoint is adjusted based on the outdoor temperature. For example, on colder days, the boiler may produce hotter water, while on milder days, it may produce cooler water. This control strategy helps to optimize energy efficiency and maintain a consistent indoor temperature.
