Resources of a system for controlling optically switchable windows may be used for a personal computing unit. The window system resources may include (i) a display associated with an optically switchable window, (ii) one or more processors of one or more controllers on a window network connected to a plurality of optically switchable windows in a building, wherein the one or more controllers are configured to vary tint states of the plurality of optically switchable windows in the building, (iii) memory of one or more controllers on the window network connected to the plurality of optically switchable windows in the building, and/or (iv) at least a part of the window network.

Tintable window system useable as a display for a user interface by an authorized user

An apparatus for transmitting power and data in a building, the apparatus including at least one controller configured to operatively couple to a building network, and use, or direct usage of, the building network, and at least one display communicatively coupled to the building network and disposed on and/or registered with an insulated glass unit (IGU). The building network includes (i) a communication network comprising a cable, and (ii) a power distribution system comprising a plurality of power transmission paths connecting one or more power sources, the cable configured to transmit electrical power and communication. The communication network includes one or more communications interfaces to one or more processors and/or one or more other communications network.

Building network

A tintable window is described having a tintable coating, e.g., an electrochromic device coating, for regulating light transmitted through the window. In some embodiments, the window has a transparent display in the window's viewable region. Transparent displays may be substantially transparent when not in use, or when the window is viewed in a direction facing away from the transparent display. Windows may have sensors for receiving user commands and/or for monitoring environmental conditions. Transparent displays can display graphical user interfaces to, e.g., control window functions. Windows, as described herein, offer an alternative display to conventional projectors, TVs, and monitors. Windows may also be configured to receive, transmit, or block wireless communications from passing through the window. A window control system may share computational resources between controllers (e.g., at different windows). In some cases, the computational resources of the window control system are utilized by other building systems and devices.

Displays for tintable windows

Disclosed herein are systems, apparatuses, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media related to a display construct coupled to a structure (e.g., a vision window such as a tintable window). The structure can be a supportive structure such as a fixture. The display construct is configured to facilitate media display and is at least partially transparent. An interactive installation software tool and process aligns a digital configuration of the display construct and/or touch screen functionality of the display construct, with its physical configuration in a matrix of display constructs.

Configuration associated with media display of a facility

Control aid housing

A high-speed data communications network in or on a building includes a plurality of trunk line segments serially coupled to each other by a plurality of passive circuits configured to deliver signals to, and to receive signals from, one or more devices on, in, or outside the building, wherein the signals comprise data having a greater than 1 Gpbs transmission rate.

Sensing and communications unit for optically switchable window systems

Disclosed herein are systems, apparatuses, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media related to a display construct coupled to a structure (e.g., a vision window). The structure can be a supportive structure such as a fixture. The display construct is configured to facilitate media display and is at least partially transparent. The vision window may be a tintable window, e.g., a window in which its tint is electrically controllable (e.g., an electrochromic window). Various interactive capabilities with the display construct are disclosed (e.g., via a touch screen).

Tandem vision window and media display

Techniques for transceiving radio frequency (RF) signals through a window of a building are disclosed, the window having a first surface facing an interior of the building. An antenna arrangement is attached to a building structure adjacent the first surface and the antenna arrangement includes one or more radiating elements configured to transceive the RF signals through the window. In some embodiments, the building structure is mullion. In some embodiments a window surface includes an electrochromic and/or low emissivity coating that is excluded from a region proximate to the radiating elements.

Building antenna

A method of automatically controlling color of light in a room having one or more tintable windows, the method comprising determining adjustments in artificial interior lighting in the room to obtain a desired color of light and sending control signals over a communication network to adjust the artificial interior lighting, wherein the adjustments are determined based on a current tint state of each of the one or more tintable windows.
