  • FENESTRATION AUTOMATED OPERATING SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR SAME
    Publication number: 20230250685
    Abstract: A fenestration automated operating system includes a fenestration frame, fenestration panel and one or both of a panel operating assembly or a panel latch assembly. The panel operating assembly is coupled with one or both of the fenestration frame or the fenestration panel. The panel operating assembly includes a panel actuator coupled with the panel actuator. A panel latch assembly is coupled with one or both of the fenestration frame or the fenestration panel. The panel latch assembly includes a latch and a latch actuator coupled with the latch. A fenestration controller is configured to operate each of the latch actuator and the panel actuator.

  • Fenestration assembly and building service control with the same
    Patent number: 11719037
    Abstract: A fenestration system includes one or more of a light modulation controller or ventilation modulation controller. The light modulation controller is in communication with at least one light modulation element of a fenestration assembly having a frame and a panel. The light modulation controller includes a light prescription module configured to provide a specified light prescription for the building interior. A lighting difference module is configured to determine a prescription difference between the specified light prescription and ambient light. A dynamic light module of the light modulation controller operates the at least one light modulation element according to the prescription difference. The ventilation modulation controller is in communication with at least one operator configured to open and close the panel.
