AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
An air conditioning system includes an outdoor unit including a control device, an indoor unit communicably connected to the control device, and an outside air processor communicably connected to the control device. The indoor unit is capable of performing ordinary operation control to adjust a temperature of air in a room, the air being taken in the indoor unit, and supply the air into the room, and output restriction control under which an output is restricted as compared with an output under the ordinary operation control. The outside air processor is capable of performing ordinary operation control to adjust at least one of a temperature and a humidity of air outside the room, the air being taken in the outside air processor, and supply the air into the room, and output restriction control under which an output is restricted as compared with an output under the ordinary operation control. The control device causes the outside air processor to shift from the ordinary operation control to the output restriction control on condition that the indoor unit shifts from the ordinary operation control to the output restriction control.
Programmable Smart Button with Display
A programmable smart button includes a housing, at least one interactive surface, a controller, and a programmable display adjustable by a user interfacing with a user device such as a smart phone. The display may include a module identifier indicator that identifies a module being controlled by the smart button as well as function indicator associated with an interactive surface of the smart button. The controller is in communication with the display and is configured to set the information in the indicators shown by the display and to determine the function(s) of the interactive surface(s). The display may be a low power display, such as a bistable display, having negligible effect on the battery life of the smart button.
SMART AIR HANDLING ROBOT WITH EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM
A smart artificial intelligence based mobile robot having an air purification, humidification, dehumidification, and ultraviolet cleaning-based system to remove pathogens is disclosed. The robot also acts as an emergency alert system for break-ins and human fall detection using AI algorithm. The mobile robot operates and navigates intelligently using real time data collected from the environment through various sensors and input devices. An object detection module may use inputs from the camera to recognize people, pets, and others by pre-trained machine learning data set. The mobile purification, humidity management and sanitizing robot includes a ball bearing for balance and a motor controller, which drives two motors and wheels. The central controller of the smart mobile robot system has memory and processor to handle navigation, communication, notifications, and air handling system through real time data collection.
Servicing, diagnosing, logging, and surveying building equipment assets
An asset inventory for a site location is conducted by providing a user with a mobile interface, collecting a site ID, collecting an equipment ID, collecting equipment asset information, associating the equipment ID and equipment asset information with the site ID, and storing the equipment asset information, equipment ID, and site ID in one or more data repositories. Site surveys are conducted based on a system comprising a server, one or more data repositories, a mobile data interface, a network, and a series of rules corresponding to service and maintenance of site equipment.
Air Conditioning System and Training Apparatus
The air conditioning system comprises: an air conditioner; an inference device to infer data representing a total amount of a power demand value exceeding a set value for a prediction target period from input data including at least one of operation data of the air conditioner for a period prior to the prediction target period, state data of a user of the air conditioner for the period prior to the prediction target period, weather prediction data for the prediction target period, or characteristic data of the room in which the air conditioner is installed; and a control device to cause the air conditioner to perform a heat storage operation depending on a predicted value of the total amount of the power demand value.

The communications interface is configured to facilitate communication with an external device and building equipment. The processing circuit is configured to store a plurality of predefined, selectable-applications; receive a selection of one of the plurality of predefined, selectable-applications; and implement the selected application such that the building equipment is controlled according to the selected application.
AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM
An air-conditioning system includes a plurality of air-conditioning apparatuses that, in an indoor space that is divided into a plurality of air-conditioned areas, each condition air in a corresponding one of the plurality of air-conditioned areas, a wireless communication module that communicates with an information communication terminal to which pieces of setting information that are each set for a corresponding one of the plurality of air-conditioning apparatuses and represent operational details of the air-conditioning apparatus are input, and a controller that controls the plurality of air-conditioning apparatuses on the basis of the pieces of setting information communicated via the wireless communication module.
Systems and methods of providing occupant feedback to enable space optimization within the building
A computer implemented method for controlling the environmental conditions of a building in accordance with feedback from the occupants of the building is provided. The method includes detecting, by one or more processors, an occupant within a building space, and transmitting, by the one or more processors, a notification message to an occupant device associated with the occupant. The notification message includes a request to provide occupant feedback. The method includes receiving, by the one or more processors, an occupant feedback message from the occupant device. The occupant feedback message includes one or more quality ratings associated with one or more building conditions. The method includes assigning, by the one or more processors, a weighting factor to the occupant feedback message and performing an action to modify at least one of the building conditions responsive to the weighted occupant feedback message.
