1. A method for controlling air temperature in a building, comprising:
obtaining as user input a target rate of change (ROC) of air temperature to be achieved in the building; and
operating one or more equipment of a heating ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system to achieve the target ROC, wherein operating the one or more equipment comprises:
operating the one or more equipment of the HVAC system at an initial capacity; and
adjusting the capacity at which the one or more equipment of the HVAC system operates to achieve the target ROC of the air temperature in the building.
