Optimize HVAC consumptions by changing HVAC setpoints

Hi! I created my model(Supermarket) using OpenStudio. My goal now is to predict my HVAC building consumptions, by using weather predictions, and change HVAC setpoints in order to minimize HVAC electricity consumptions. Can you tell me what is the best way to do this? Thank you

Optimize HVAC consumptions by changing HVAC setpoints

Hi! I created my model(Supermarket) using OpenStudio. My goal I created a single zone building with an HVAC system. I'm trying to optimize my building HVAC electricity consumption by changing HVAC setpoints. What I'm doing now is to predict my HVAC building consumptions, by using weather predictions, and change changing HVAC setpoints "by hand" in order orther to study the consumption changes, always looking to confort restrictions. As I'm also looking to electricity costs, that are variable during the entire day, I'm trying to find a tool that can give me the setpoints that can minimize HVAC electricity consumptions. Can energy costs. Do you tell me what is the best way recomend any tool or any mathematical model that can be useful to do this? this optimization problem? Thank you
