1. A method of operating a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
monitoring a temperature in a conditioned space during a first period when the HVAC system is operating and a second period when the HVAC system is not operating;
determining a first rate of change of the temperature in the conditioned space during at least a portion of the first period;
determining a second rate of change of the temperature in the conditioned space during at least a portion of the second period;
determining a thermal core temperature of a thermal core of the conditioned space based on the first rate of change and the second rate of change;
adjusting a set point of the HVAC system based on the thermal core temperature.
