A load control system for a building having a lighting load, a window, a heating and cooling system, and an electric vehicle charger for charging a vehicle (e.g., an electric or hybrid vehicle) operates in an energy-savings mode to reduce the total power consumption of the load control system when the vehicle charger is presently charging the vehicle. The load control system may comprise a lighting control device for controlling the intensity of the lighting load, a daylight control device for adjusting the amount of natural light admitted through the window, and a temperature control device for controlling a setpoint temperature of the heating and cooling system to thus control a present temperature in the building. When the vehicle charger is presently charging the vehicle, the load control system automatically controls the lighting control device, the daylight control device, and the temperature control device to decrease the total power consumption of the load control system.
A load control system for a building having a lighting load located in a space of the building, a heating and cooling system, and a window located in the space of the building, the load control system comprising:
A load control system for a building having a lighting load and an electric vehicle charger for charging a vehicle, the load control system comprising:
A lighting control device for controlling the amount of power delivered from an AC power source to a lighting load, the lighting control device comprising:
