  • the sensor input may be from one or multiple sensors and the sensor(s) may be any type of occupancy sensor such as a motion sensor. If there is no change in occupancy status, then control remains in step 1310, and sensor input may again be processed at a later time. If the determination in step 1310 indicates that there is a change in the corridor zone's occupancy status resulting in the corridor zone being unoccupied, then control transfers to step 1320. If the determination in step 1310 indicates that there is a change in the corridor zone's occupancy status resulting in the corridor zone being occupied, then control transfers to step 1330.

If the determination in step 1320 is negative (e.g. no zone adjacent to the corridor zone is occupied), then in step 1360, a switch off sequence is initiated in order to transition luminaires (or lighting units or light sources) in the corridor zone to producing no illumination.

  • the commissioned unit may still be regulated based on daylight-based controls, but the new set-point value will be used to regulate environmental conditions associated with the commissioned unit.
  • step 1530 the requested scene is applied.
  • respective details of the requested scene are transmitted from a system module (e.g. environment manager module 1 10 or gateway module 130 of system 100 A) to respective commissioned units (e.g. IP controller 140 and 150 of system 100A) for application.
  • a scene may require that all walls in a room be washed in red light of particular dimness, and all task lights in the room be dimmed up to a particular level.

  • Different reaction times are related to users' expectations when requesting an environmental change, such as a change in lighting conditions. If a fade parameter associated with a commissioned unit or the user herself (e.g. a user preference parameter indicating whether or not the user prefers a fade effect) is disabled, then the requested change in the environmental condition (e.g. light level adjustment) should be immediate. If fade is enabled, then the requested change in environmental conditions may start within a time interval (e.g. 0.3 seconds) from the moment of the change request.
  • a time interval e.g. 0.3 seconds
  • an automatic request arising out of daylight-based monitoring of space surrounding the commissioned unit may indicate a request to adjust the luminaires (or lighting units or light sources) associated with the commissioned unit to provide a lower light level than that requested by the user's request arising out of his/her use of a manual wall- mounted control.
  • the luminaires associated with the commissioned unit will adjust the illumination they provide to produce the manually- requested level of illumination.
  • the configuration of a manual retention time parameter allows for the resetting of environmental conditions to be in compliance with manually- requested conditions, even after commissioned units previously applying the conditions have stopped complying with the manually-requested conditions.
  • the need for this parameter may occur in various circumstances. For example, in some situations, a user may enter a previously unoccupied room, where lighting conditions were being automatically adjusted based on the presence of natural light. The user may thereafter utilize a manual controller to request that commissioned units in the space produce a particular level of light in the space, regardless of the amount of natural light present, thereby effectively overriding the automatic daylight-based control of the space.
  • Personal control devices such as smart phones running personal control applications may be used by users to graphically view the zones and/or commissioned units that are under the control of the device.
  • any response to such requests may be required to be made within a configured amount of time (e.g. 3 seconds). Failure to respond within the allotted time may result in an error being reported by the personal control device itself to one or more modules of the system (e.g. environment manager module 1 10 or gateway module 130 of system 100A).
  • a response to a user request made via a personal controller takes longer than a configured amount of time, then the user may be given feedback on the progress of the request (e.g. a progress bar or other visual or auditory notification).
  • users may select preconfigured scenes for their work zones. For example, a user may select a standard scene where all lighting units associated with a commissioned unit providing light for the user's work zone switch to a particular light level.
  • a user may also use personal controls to control the dim level of luminaires (or lighting units or light sources) associated with commissioned units. Commissioned units may be configured to provide illumination within a determined range (e.g. between a minimum light output and maximum light output), and a user's ability to control the dim level of such units may be confined to controlling output within such a range.
  • Figure 21 illustrates a method 2100 for handling a manually-activated personal control request, performed by some embodiments of a system for managing environmental conditions.
  • Method 2100 comprises steps 21 10-2150, which may be performed in an order different from that depicted. Steps may be omitted, and other steps may be added.

  • the request may be received by a system module such as environment manager module 1 10 of system 100A depicted in Figure 1, and a user may use a smartphone to issue the request.
  • the user may increase or decrease a current temperature set point to another set-point that is within a configurable range (e.g. within 2 degrees Celsius of the current set-point).

If the user making this scope selection is using his/her own personal controller device (e.g. a smartphone), information identifying the user may be linked to the scope selection and/or other profile settings of the user automatically, without requiring further input from the user. If, on the other hand, the user making the scope selection is using a publicly accessible personal controller device (e.g. a controller affixed to a wall in a space accessible to multiple users), the user may have to identify him/herself in order to link his/her scope selection to his/her identity within the system for managing environmental condition.

Real time requests are processed such that resulting changes in environmental conditions are made within a configurable amount of time following the request.

Users may select existing schedules for application. The same schedules may be repeatedly applied. Accordingly, the central dashboard may provide user interface means for selecting one or more schedules for application, specifying the scope of schedules (e.g. the commissioned units or zones on which the selected schedules will be active), what events will trigger schedules (e.g. time of day, environmental condition, user activity), and/or the frequency with which the schedules are to be applied (e.g. one time only, a few times a day, whenever a triggering event occurs).

  • Central control may also take into account manually-requested environmental conditions that are in effect in various areas. For example, although the central dashboard may allow a facility manager to easily alter lighting conditions in a large open plan office area, the facility manager may wish to skip over areas that are under personal control of other users. In some embodiments, this is accomplished by using information about the different lighting conditions in various parts available in real time to system modules such as the environment manager module 1 10 or gateway module 130.
  • a centrally-issued environmental control request that comes before or after a personal or manual control request may not affect the system's response to the personal or manual control request. For example, a central control request to switch a commissioned unit to a lower light level may result in the commissioned unit producing the lower light level. However, a personal or other manual control request may thereafter successfully switch the commissioned unit to produce a higher light level.
  • a central control request may be issued to take effect in a space, and prevent other control requests from taking effect in that space until it is manually deactivated.
  • automatic controls may override such central controls under some limited circumstances, such as when the system recognizes that the space is vacant. Under such circumstances, occupancy-based control may replace the central control of the space, and environmental changes in accordance with the occupancy-based control may take effect.
