Method and System to Control Thermostat Using Biofeedback

A method of controlling a climate-control system in a building, the climate-control system having a control setpoint associated with at least one of temperature, humidity, and ventilation of a controlled space in the building, the method comprising:

• receiving biofeedback data from a plurality of biofeedback sensors to monitor the least one occupant, at least one of the plurality of biofeedback sensors including at least one of a wearable biofeedback sensor wore by at least one occupant of the building and a mountable biofeedback sensor mounted within the controlled space;
• determining, via a processor, a control setpoint for an activity state of the at least one occupant, the control setpoint determined from the biofeedback data;
• and
• causing the establishing of the control setpoint for the climate-control system for a portion of the controlled space using the determined control setpoint.

A computer program product, which is stored on a machine-readable medium, or computer data signal, embodied by an electromagnetic wave, comprising program code for carrying out a method of controlling a climate-control system of a residential building, the climate-control system having a control setpoint associated with at least one of temperature, humidity, and ventilation of a controlled space in the residential building, the computer program product comprising:

• computer code to receive, via a communication port, biofeedback data from a plurality of biofeedback sensors, at least one of the plurality of biofeedback sensor including a wearable biofeedback sensor wore by an occupant of the residential building and a mountable biofeedback sensor mounted within the controlled space;
• computer code to determine, via a processor, a control setpoint for an activity state of the at least one occupant, the control setpoint determined from the biofeedback data;
• and
• computer code to cause the establishing of the control setpoint for a portion of the controlled space using the determined control setpoint.

A method of controlling a climate-control system in a building, the climate-control system having a control setpoint associated with at least one of temperature, humidity, and ventilation of a controlled space in the building, the method comprising:

• receiving calculated control setpoint for the climate-control system via a communication port;
• and
• establishing a control setpoint of the climate-control system using the received calculated control setpoint,
• wherein the calculated control setpoint is determined from biofeedback data associated with an occupant in the controlled space.
