Abstract: A method for adjusting a plurality of controlled subsystems in a building or plant that facilitates cooperative energy usage with a utility provider. By referring to a single profile of adjustments that correspond to changes in the value of a utility signal and distributing this to each relevant controller for each subsystem, a single setback delta can be applied to each subsystem for each change in utility signal value (i.e., pricing information). Alternatively, multiple profiles can be used to provide for firmer control and thereby allow for different zones to respond differently to a single change signal sent by the utility provider.

Abstract: A method of employing add/shed routines to individual load controllers in a system for a building or plant that has more than one load. It allows for cooperative adjustments of energy usage in accord with prearranged exigency information agree between the utility provider and the building user. Duty cycle time is also adjustable in accord with tier level signal information provided by the utility.

Abstract: An annunciator for the status of interlock switches connected into a series circuit for supplying power from a power source to a load, includes a memory recording the status of each switch at a selectable instant. A plurality of display elements are arranged in a pattern corresponding to the pattern of the interlock switch circuit. A manually operable switch allows a user to select for graphically showing with the display either the switch status recorded by the memory or the current status of the switches. The signals controlling the display are conditioned so that the particular display element assigned to the first out switch as recorded in the memory flashes to indicate the switch closest to the power source which was not conducting at the selectable instant.
