Building optimization system and lighting switch

A building optimization switch for controlling the environment of a space in a building according to a plurality of operation modes, the environment at least including first and second lighting banks, the building optimization switch comprising:

• first and second lighting controls for manually operating corresponding first and second lighting banks;
• a wireless transceiver for receiving input signals from and transmitting environment data to a master controller via a wireless communication network;
• logic responsive to input signals from the first and second lighting controls, and/or the master controller via the wireless receiver for controlling the first and second lighting banks;
• and
• a graphical display screen adapted to display a graphical user interface by which an occupant of the building can program the building optimization switch and receive data related to each of the plurality of operation modes.

A building optimization system for controlling the environment of a building according to a plurality of operation modes, the building being composed of a number of defined spaces, the environment at least including first and second lighting banks in each space, the building optimization system comprising:

• a master controller for transmitting control signals via a wireless communication network to control the environment according to the plurality of operation modes;
• and
• a plurality of building optimization switches, at least one switch per space, each building optimization switch comprising:
• first and second lighting controls for manually operating corresponding first and second lighting banks;
• a wireless transceiver for receiving the control signals from the master controller, and for transmitting environment data to the master controller via the wireless communication network;
• logic responsive to input signals from the first and second lighting controls, and/or the master controller via the wireless receiver for controlling the first and second lighting banks.
