System and method for climate control set-point optimization based on individual comfort

TL;DR: In this paper, a ring-shaped user interface component is used to track a rotational input motion of a user, and a processing system is configured to identify a setpoint temperature value based on the tracked input motion, and an electronic display coupled to the processing system.

TL;DR: In this paper, an a priori stochastic model of occupancy patterns based on information of the enclosure and/or the expected occupants is used to pre-seed an occupancy prediction engine.

TL;DR: In this article, the intelligent controllers employ feedback information to continuously adjust the electronically stored parameters and rules in order to minimize the number of incorrect inferences with respect to the presence or absence of the one or more entities.

TL;DR: In this article, an energy management apparatus for a mobile energy management system and method includes detecting an availability of at least one network device at a site, displaying a proximity control selector within a graphical user interface of a mobile device associated with the site that can be toggled to enable and disable proximity detection using the mobile device, detecting a distance of the mobile devices relative to the site in response to enabling proximity detection on the mobiledevice, and initiating a change to the operating condition of the network device in order to detecting a change in the distance of mobile device relative to a site

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a system for providing adaptable control of an HVAC system which regulates environmental conditions within an enclosed area, and the system uses a parameter estimation process that estimates the value of at least one parameter in the plurality of parameters to reduce the difference between the predicted thermal sensation ratings and the actual thermal sensation rating.

TL;DR: In this article, the setpoint information in a HVAC system is determined using occupant feedback provided by individual occupants over at least one of an Internet or Intranet communications network.

TL;DR: In this paper, a plurality of wireless microsystems are used to measure at least relative humidity and temperature, and to communicate temperature and relative humidity information wirelessly to a network device.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new adaptive comfort standard (ACS) that allows warmer indoor temperatures for naturally ventilated buildings during summer, based on the analysis of 21,000 sets of raw data compiled from field studies in 160 buildings.
