Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A load control system for a building having a lighting load, a window, and a heating and cooling system comprises a lighting control device, a daylight control device, and a temperature control device operable to be controlled so as to decrease a total power consumption of the load control system in an energy-savings mode. The energy-savings mode can be manually overridden in response to actuation of the actuator of an input control device, such that the load control system enters a manual mode for manually adjusting the loads controlled by the lighting control device, the daylight control device, and the temperature control device. The load control system is operable to automatically return to the energy-savings mode at a time after the load control system entered the manual mode.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A load control system installed in a building and responsive to a demand response command, the load control system comprising: a temperature control device configured to control a heating and cooling system to adjust a present temperature towards a setpoint temperature; a motorized window treatment configured to control an amount of light admitted through a window; and a controller configured to adjust the setpoint temperature of the temperature control device; wherein the controller is configured to: receive the demand response command; and in response to receiving the demand response command, control the motorized window treatment in a first direction and adjust the setpoint temperature to control the heating and cooling system.
