    Abstract: An improved humidifier system for adding humidity to an air stream of an HVAC system. The humidifier system includes an air path that is configured to accept air from a first HVAC duct and return air to a second HVAC duct. A damper is disposed in the air path to selectively substantially block the flow of air in the air path, or to substantially not block the flow of air in the air path. In some cases, the damper may be a motorized damper, and the humidifier system may include a controller that is configured to cause the motorized damper to not substantially block the flow of air in the air path during a call for humidifier operation, and to substantially block the flow of air in the air path after the call for humidifier operation ends. Alternatively, the damper may be manually actuated, and an HVAC controller may be configured to notify when the damper should be moved (e.g. between seasons).

    Abstract: A system allows a contractor to remotely monitor and/or interact with its customers' building control systems, such as heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and analyze information obtained from the building control systems over time. Such a system may help the contractor monitor and diagnosis customer building control systems, setup service calls, achieve better customer relations, create more effective marketing opportunities, as well as other functions. In some cases, the disclosed system may include a controller that outputs a listing of one or more building automation system contractors having a service area that overlaps a geographical location of a customer or a potential customer or of a related HVAC system. In some cases, the disclosed system may output a listing of one or more building automation system contractors having a service area that overlaps a geographical location of a building automation system for which an alert has been indicated.

    Abstract: An HVAC controller and/or server may be programmed to determine if ventilation of a building is desired based, at least in part, on the one or more user-specified air quality thresholds stored in a memory, and one or more of a measure of indoor air quality and a measure of outdoor air quality. The air quality parameter threshold may relate to an air quality index, an air pollutant concentration, a smog alert, a pollen count, a dew point, a chance of precipitation, and/or the like. In addition, the HVAC controller and/or server may take into account current or future weather conditions when determining the ventilation needs of a building. Upon determining that ventilation is needed or recommended, the HVAC controller may send or display a message to the user. The message may recommendation that the user open a window or operate a ventilation system, as desired.

    Abstract translation: HVAC控制器和/或服务器可以被编程为至少部分地基于存储在存储器中的一个或多个用户指定的空气质量阈值来确定建筑物的通风是否需要,以及一个或多个测量 室内空气质量和户外空气质量的度量。 空气质量参数阈值可以涉及空气质量指数,空气污染物浓度,烟雾警报,花粉计数,露点,降水的机会等。 此外,当确定建筑物的通风需求时,HVAC控制器和/或服务器可以考虑当前或未来的天气条件。 在确定需要或推荐通风时,HVAC控制器可以向用户发送或显示消息。 该消息可以推荐用户根据需要打开窗口或操作通风系统。

    Abstract: An HVAC controller may be programmed to control an HVAC system according to a comfort mode and an economy mode. When the HVAC system is operating according to the comfort mode, the HVAC system may primarily draw energy from a locally generated energy source or local energy storage system. The HVAC controller may be programmed to transition the HVAC system from operating according to the comfort mode to operating according to an economy mode, wherein the economy mode is a more energy efficient that the comfort mode

    Abstract translation: HVAC控制器可以被编程为根据舒适模式和经济模式来控制HVAC系统。 当HVAC系统根据舒适模式运行时,HVAC系统可以主要从本地产生的能量源或本地能量存储系统中抽取能量。 HVAC控制器可以被编程为将HVAC系统从根据舒适模式操作转变为根据经济模式进行操作,其中经济模式是更节能的舒适模式
