A method for adjusting a plurality of controlled subsystems in a building or plant that facilitates cooperative energy usage with a utility provider. By referring to a single profile of adjustments that correspond to changes in the value of a utility signal and distributing this to each relevant controller for each subsystem, a single setback delta can be applied to each subsystem for each change in utility signal value (i.e., pricing information). Alternatively, multiple profiles can be used to provide for firmer control and thereby allow for different zones to respond differently to a single change signal sent by the utility provider.
A method for controlling an environmental control system, wherein the environmental control system controls one or more envirornmental conditions of an inside space of a user's facility/home/building in accordance with one or more setpoints, the method comprising the steps of:
A controller for an environmental control system serviced by a utility having a load that includes a higher load period and a lower load period, wherein the controller accesses one or more setpoints and controls the environmental control system such that one or more environmental conditions of an inside space of a user's facility/home/building are maintained in accordance with the one or more setpoints, the controller comprising:
A method for controlling an environmental control system, wherein the environmental control system controls one or more environmental conditions of an inside space of a user's facility/home/building using one or more setpoints and one or more offsets, the method comprising the steps of:
A controller for an environmental control system, wherein the controller accesses one or more setpoints and controls the environmental control system such that one or more environmental conditions of an inside space of a user's facility/home/building are maintained in accordance with the one or more setpoints, the environmental control system further receiving one or more energy price related signals from a utility, the controller comprising:
A method for controlling an environmental control system for a user's facility/home/building, the method comprising the steps of:
A method for controlling an environmental control system, wherein the environmental control system controls one or more environmental conditions of an inside space of a user's facility/home/building having two or more zones in accordance with one or more setpoints, the method comprising the steps of:
A controller for an environmental control system that has two or more zones, the controller comprising:
A controller for an environmental control system that has two or more zones, the controller comprising:
A controller for controlling two or more appliances in a user's facility/home/building, the controller receiving one or more energy price related signals from a utility that select one of at least two different energy price related levels, the controller comprising:
A method for controlling a control system, wherein the control system controls one or more conditions in accordance with one or more setpoints, the method comprising the steps of:
