Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling the conditioning mode of a climate control device, such as a rooftop unit, that is servicing multiple connected terminal unit. The improved process may include determining a conditioning mode error for the connected terminal units. The conditioning mode error may be an integrated error value that is based on a temperature deviation integrated over the duration of the temperature deviation. The process may also determine a cooling mode error and a heating mode error. The cooling mode error and the heating mode error may be based on the conditioning mode error for the terminal units associated with cooling conditions and heating conditions, respectively. The process may further compare the cooling mode error and the heating mode error, and it may also adjust the conditioning mode of the climate control device based on the comparison.

Abstract: A method is provided for controlling electrical load on a power grid from a load facility using demand response. The method includes accessing memory storing computer-readable program code for decision analysis of a specified time interval for a demand-response (DR) event. The method also includes executing the computer-readable program code, via a processor, to cause an apparatus to at least make a decision to participate in or opt out of the DR event. This includes the apparatus receiving values of variables that describe occupancy and usage of the load facility for one or more time intervals. The apparatus applies the values to an algorithm that maps the variables to a decision to participate in or opt out of the DR event for the specified time interval. And the apparatus automatically notifies an operator responsible for the DR event of the decision at least when the decision is to opt out.

Abstract: A method of controlling a discharge air reset in an heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR system includes determining, by a controller, a space temperature in a conditioned space, a setpoint temperature of the conditioned space, and an operating mode of a variable-air-volume (VAV) box for the conditioned space. The controller determines whether the operating mode of the VAV box matches an operating mode of an HVACR unit. A deviation from the setpoint temperature of the conditioned space for the VAV box for the conditioned is calculated in response to determining the VAV box is in a same mode as the HVACR unit. A statistical deviation from the setpoint temperature of the conditioned space is calculated. A discharge air setpoint temperature is determined based on the statistical deviation from the setpoint temperature of the conditioned space. The controller sets the discharge air setpoint temperature of the HVACR unit using the determined discharge air setpoint temperature.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are described for updating firmware in building and equipment controllers. Several embodiments include a fleet manager configured to simplify and automate remote firmware updates to connected (e.g., cloud-connected) embedded equipment and building control devices. The updates may be performed immediately or scheduled, such as based on user preferences, constraints, and conditions and/or device parameters and capabilities. In many embodiments, the fleet manager may engage in an interactive process, such as with a client, to schedule and perform updates.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a load facility in response to a demand event. The method includes defining a plurality of resources of the load facility based on user input, establishing a response strategy for the demand event, and organizing the resources into the response strategy that specifies the resources and times during the demand event at which the resources are called to execute the one or more measures to reduce power consumption of one or more of the electrical devices, different ones of the resources called at different times during the demand event, and at least one of the resources called to execute the one or more measures, and further including executing the response strategy to reduce demand on the power grid from the load facility during the demand event.

A discharge air setpoint temperature is determined based on the average deviation from the setpoint temperature of the conditioned space. The controller sets the discharge air setpoint temperature of the HVACR unit using the determined discharge air setpoint temperature.
