Abstract: Certain embodiments are directed to control methods, window controllers, and uninterruptible power supplies for determining tinting instructions for optically switchable windows to reduce power usage at a site during a reduced power event. In some cases, reduced power operations are initiated by a window controller upon receipt of a trigger signal from an uninterruptible power supply sent when it detects a power loss. In some cases, tinting instructions are based on the remaining charge left on the uninterruptible power supply. In some cases, reduced power operations are delayed for a period of time.

Abstract: Disclosed herein as methods, apparatuses, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems for controlling atmospheric quality of an enclosed zone (e.g., at least one enclosure, an enclosure, or a portion of an enclosure), e.g., by controlling ventilation of the zone and/or adjusting a chemical content of an atmosphere of the enclosed zone.

Abstract: Various devices (e.g., sensors and/or emitters) are disposed in a casing to form an ensemble are utilized to affect and/or control an environment of an enclosure (e.g., facility). A plurality of such ensembles may be disposed in the facility. Inter and/or intra coexistence issues may arise among the devices. Such coexistence is utilized and/or managed by a control and/or processing system. An ensemble may be integrated as a digital architectural element packaged as a capsule having a main body shell and a lid.

Abstract: Disclosed herein as methods, apparatuses, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems relating to reduction and/or identification of one or more health risks in a facility. For example, by sensing a bodily characteristic of an individual in a facility, e.g., by sensing at least one environmental characteristic. For example, by sensing surface cleanliness. For example, by tracking personnel in the facility. For example, by suggesting routes in an enclosure based at least in part in personnel concentration in the facility. Disclosed herein as methods, apparatuses, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems relating to monitoring occupancy of a facility.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems for mitigating pinhole defects in optical devices such as electrochromic windows. One method mitigates a pinhole defect in an electrochromic device by identifying the site of the pinhole defect and obscuring the pinhole to make it less visually discernible.

Abstract: A network system in an enclosure includes one or more interactive targets such as tintable windows, HVAC components, sensors, computing devices, media display devices, and/or service devices. Diverse types of local and remote interfaces are employed for facilitating remote (e.g., indirect) manipulation of the interactive target(s), for example, using a digital twin (e.g., representative virtual model) of a facility and/or a mobile circuitry of a user. The environment and/or targets may be controlled according to preferences and/or requests of its user(s).

Abstract: Thin-film devices, for example, multi-zone electrochromic windows, and methods of manufacturing are described. In certain cases, a multi-zone electrochromic window comprises a monolithic EC device on a transparent substrate and two or more tinting zones, wherein the tinting zones are configured for independent operation.

Abstract: A tintable window is described having a tintable coating, e.g., an electrochromic device coating, for regulating light transmitted through the window. In some embodiments, the window has a transparent display in the window's viewable region. Transparent displays may be substantially transparent when not in use, or when the window is viewed in a direction facing away from the transparent display. Windows may have sensors for receiving user commands and/or for monitoring environmental conditions. Transparent displays can display graphical user interfaces to, e.g., control window functions. Windows, as described herein, offer an alternative display to conventional projectors, TVs, and monitors. Windows may also be configured to receive, transmit, or block wireless communications from passing through the window. A window control system may share computational resources between controllers (e.g., at different windows).

In some cases, tinting instructions are based on the remaining charge left on the uninterruptible power supply. In some cases, reduced power operations are delayed for a period of time.
