Abstract: A HVAC controller located within a building zone includes a housing, a wireless radio, a controller monitor, a temperature sensor, and a temperature compensation module. The wireless radio is contained within the housing and is configured to transmit data via a wireless HVAC network. The controller monitor is configured to detect wireless activity of the wireless radio, the wireless activity generating heat inside the housing and causing a temperature inside the housing to exceed a temperature of the building zone outside the housing. The temperature sensor is configured to measure the temperature inside the housing. The temperature compensation module is configured to determine a wireless heat rise resulting from the wireless activity, to calculate a temperature offset based on the wireless heat rise, and to determine the temperature of the building zone outside the housing by subtracting the temperature offset from the temperature measured inside the housing.

Abstract: A system for controlling air quality of a building space includes an air quality sensor configured to sense the air quality of the building space, an exhaust fan configured to exhaust air from inside the building space to outside the building space, a switch device configured to control the exhaust fan to exhaust the air from inside the building space to outside the building space, and a controller comprising a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to determine an air quality level of the building space based on the air quality sensor, determine whether the air quality level is less than an air quality threshold, and cause the switch device to operate the exhaust fan to exhaust air from inside the building space to outside the building space in response to a determination that the air quality level is less than the air quality threshold.

Abstract: An HVAC system within a building including an HVAC device having an air filter, a number of sensors, and a control device. The control device has a processor that is configured to determine a current air quality metric based on air quality measurements received by the sensor. The control device is further configured to calculate an average air quality metric based on the current air quality metric and a set of previous air quality metrics. The control device is further configured to store the average air quality metric. The control device is further configured to generate an air filter type recommendation based on the average air quality metric.

Abstract: A thermostat for a building space can include a processing circuit. The processing circuit can cause building equipment to heat or cool the building space via one or more heating outputs or one or more cooling outputs. The processing circuit can record the length of time that the processing circuit causes the building equipment to heat or cool the building space. The processing circuit can simulate a thermal plant model to determine a simulated runtime, wherein the thermal plant model is a thermal plant model of the building space and the building equipment. The processing circuit can determine a number of hours saved based on the simulated runtime and the recorded length of time.

Abstract: A controller for controlling an environmental condition of a building space includes a proxy sensor configured to measure a proxy value indicating whether an occupant is within the building space and an occupancy sensor configured to measure an occupancy value. The controller includes a processing circuit configured to determine whether the occupant is within the building space based on the occupancy value of the occupancy sensor, generate a proxy parameter based on a first proxy value measured via the proxy sensor in response to a determination that the occupant is not within the building space based on the occupancy value of the occupancy sensor, determine whether the occupant is within the building based on a second proxy value measured via the proxy sensor and the generated proxy parameter, and control one or more pieces of building equipment to control the environmental condition of the building space.

Abstract: A plant includes equipment that operate to affect a variable state or condition of the plant in response to a control signal. A feedback controller monitors a process variable received via a feedback signal from the plant and uses an error signal representing a setpoint error between the process variable and a setpoint to generate the control signal for the plant. An exponentially-weighted moving average (EWMA) calculator generates EWMA values based on the setpoint error. A normalized index generator uses the EWMA values to calculate a normalized performance index. A threshold generator generates a threshold based on a first alarm parameter κ representing a normalized magnitude of the setpoint error and a second alarm parameter η representing a normalized duration that the setpoint error has persisted. An alarm manager generates an alarm in response to the normalized performance index crossing the threshold.

Abstract: A HVAC controller includes a housing and one or more heat-generating components contained within the housing. The heat-generating components cause a temperature inside the housing to exceed a temperature outside the housing. The controller includes a temperature sensor configured to measure the temperature inside the housing and a controller event detector configured to detect, for at least one of the heat-generating components, a controller event that generates heat inside the housing. The controller further includes a temperature compensation module configured to identify a steady-state temperature gain associated with the detected controller event, to calculate a temperature offset using a summation of the steady-state temperature gain, to determine the temperature of the building zone outside the housing by subtracting the temperature offset from the temperature measured inside the housing, and to store the temperature offset.
