Patent number: 10948206Abstract: A system that 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 be configured to allow a user to grant or deny access to its HVAC system in response to the user receiving an electronic invitation to the system. The granting of access by a user to its HVAC system may allow for remote monitoring of the HVAC system.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2014Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Ademco Inc.Inventors: David Quam, Amy Ragland, Steve R. Peterson

Patent number: 10371400Abstract: A system that 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 analyzes data from HVAC systems, determines a thermal model of a space environmentally controlled by an HVAC system, and provides an energy audit of the space that is environmentally controlled by the HVAC system. The controller may output a result of the energy audit to a user.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2014Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Ademco Inc.Inventors: David Quam, Amy Ragland, Steve R. Peterson, Brad Paine, Pedro Davalos, Soumitri Kolavennu, Wendy Foslien

Patent number: 10139123Abstract: A system that 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 help a contractor pro-actively identify possible issues with its customer's building control systems. A controller of the system may populate a display screen on a remote device to display a summary display screen with selectable features for obtaining detailed information related to the selected feature. The summary display screen may display a summary of business performance data, customer performance data, and/or HVAC performance data associated with a set of log-in credentials.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2014Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: David Quam, Amy Ragland, Steve R.

Remote contractor system with data analytics for identifying site specific operational abnormalities
Patent number: 9995501Abstract: A system that 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 help a contractor pro-actively identify possible issues with its customer's building control systems, and only then schedule maintenance as required. In some cases, based on the analysis of information obtained from the building control systems over time, the system may output indications of abnormalities in the operation of the building control systems from which information may be received.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2014Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: David Quam, Amy Ragland, Steve R. Peterson, Wendy Foslien, Jennifer Teves, Pedro Davolos, Soumitri Kolavennu, Henry Nahurski -
Patent number: 9970675Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2014Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: David Quam, Amy Ragland, Steve R.
