Abstract: A thermostat includes a housing having a base, a display mount cantilevered from the base, and a case defining an interior volume extending between a front surface and a rear surface, a touch-sensitive display configured to display visual media and receive user inputs, wherein the touch-sensitive display is attached to the display mount, processing electronics on a circuit board positioned at least partially within the interior volume of the case, wherein the processing electronics are configured to operate the touch-sensitive display, and a mounting bracket configured to attach to a mounting location, wherein the mounting bracket includes a frame defining an aperture and the case extends through the aperture so that the frame is located between the front and rear surfaces of the case.

Abstract: A thermostat includes a transparent touch screen display, wherein the matter behind the display is visible in the non-active display portions and a control bar connected to one side of the transparent touch screen display. The control bar includes a housing, processing circuitry operably connected to the transparent touch screen display and configured to monitor and control building equipment, and a temperature sensor operably connected to the processing circuitry.

Abstract: Systems and methods for using occupant location in a building management system are provided. A plurality of wireless emitters are provided at various locations in a building. Each of the wireless emitters broadcasts a different emitter identifier. Mobile devices in the building run an application which causes the mobile devices to detect and report, to the building management system, an emitter identifier associated with a nearby wireless emitter. The building management system uses the reported emitter identifier to determine a building zone in which the mobile device is located. The building management system provides information to the mobile device based on the location of the mobile device in the building. In some embodiments, the information includes a user interface for monitoring and/or controlling the building zone in which the mobile device is located.
