Systems and methods for improving energy efficiency in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system using a control device and a controllable component are provided. A climate control system for a facility includes a heating/venting/air-conditioning (HVAC) system, at least one controllable component configured to adjust environmental conditions automatically to minimize energy usage, a control panel, and a control device, wherein the control device displays data from the climate control system and includes a user interface through which a user can control the climate control system.

Method and system for adaptive control for thermostats

An approach for changing behavior of users of a building automation system by employing gaming function logic and providing feedback to the building automation system users.

Gaming approach for energy efficient building control

An approach to determine occupancy of a space passively with smart devices, where the smart device detects a beacon associated with a room or area in a building.

Passive indoor occupancy detection and location tracking

A method for execution on a computing device includes transmitting first identification information to a server processing circuit via the Internet. The server processing circuit identifies a plurality of geographically dispersed systems corresponding to the first identification information. Information including geographical coordinates and system status information is received for each system. A set of geographical boundary coordinates are determined. Moreover, a visible characteristic value for each system is determined based on the corresponding system status information. A map presentation function executed by a second processing circuit displays a map based on the geographic boundary coordinates, and displays a plurality of visible indicators on the map. Each of the plurality of visible indicators has a position on the map corresponding the geographical coordinates of a corresponding system. Each of the plurality of visible indicators has a visible characteristic corresponding to the visible characteristic value of the corresponding system.
