In simulink you can do just this and in this graphical environment, it allows you to think about the control architecture in block diagram form, just like how i drew it out in this video. Measure ambient temperature and adjust heatingcooling.
Feedforward control reacts the moment a disturbance occurs, without having to wait for a deviation in process variable. In feedforward control, the systems output can change without any reaction from the controller while in feedback control any change in the system output will provoke a reaction of the controller. Note that the feedforward controller does not use an output of the process.
