Abstract:
A building has climate control equipment which controls a temperature at different locations. Different locations may be in different control zones controlled by different control devices. An occupant of a location submits a desired location temperature through a user interface on a computing device to a networked server. Setting of a desired temperature is constrained by energy saving policies and by conditions of surrounding locations. An arbitrator device determines based on constraints a new temperature setting. The new temperature setting is accompanied by an energy saving feedback. The occupants confirms the new setting. A climate control device is instructed to apply a device setting to achieve the new temperature. A climate profile of the occupant is learned from previous temperature settings by the occupant.
