• one or more processors executing an environment manager module configured to receive the environment control request, to generate an environment control command using the control request, and to transmit the environment control command to the commissioned unit;
• and
• one or more processors executing a gateway module communicatively connected to the environment manager module, the gateway module being configured to receive an environment control command from at least one of:
• the environment manager module and a commissioned unit, and convert the control command into a format suitable for at least one of:
