  • Patent number: 11181877
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to using machine learning techniques for dynamic occupancy prediction. A computing platform may receive first data that is non-personalized and is associated with a first specific physical space, and may receive second data associated with a second specific physical space. The computing platform may normalize, for a common subspace of the first specific physical space and the second specific physical space, the first data and the second data. Using the normalized data, the computing platform may generate a predicted occupancy value for the common subspace. The computing platform may send commands directing a local HVAC control system, deployed at the common subspace, to perform a resource control action for the common subspace, which may cause the local HVAC control system to perform the resource control action for the common subspace.

  • Patent number: 11148163
    Abstract: A system includes is provided to include an air conditioner in each zone of a painting process line supplying heated air according to temperature/humidity stabilization conditions for a painting process of each zone of a spray booth. A controller transmits operation information of the air conditioner including temperatures and humidities of outdoor air flowing into the air conditioner and indoor air inside each zone of the booth and temperature/humidity stabilization condition values for each zone of the booth. A server extracts stabilization time of the operation information equal to current operation information in a database in which the stabilization time required for temperature and humidity of each both zone to reach the condition values is stored and applies operation command for the air conditioner to the controller at operation schedule time derived by calculating the stabilization time backward from a time when a vehicle arrives at each booth zone.

  • Patent number: 11079130
    Abstract: A smart ventilation system which uses outdoor temperature and moisture to optimize control of the system. The main principle is to shift ventilation from time periods that have large indoor-outdoor temperature and moisture differences to periods when these differences are smaller, and their energy and comfort impacts are expected to be less. Fan flow rates are reduced when the outside temperature and moisture falls outside of optimum levels, yet overall air exchange is maintained to ensure chronic and acute exposure to pollutants remains relative to best practice. Online weather and smart thermostat data can be used as control inputs, so no specific measurement devices are needed to control ventilation fans.
