Abstract: A system for providing heating ventilation and cooling (HVAC) services includes a central server having an HVAC load estimation module. The central server is communicatively coupled to at least one database and includes instructions configured to cause the central server to receive a residence identifier from a user portal, retrieve a plurality of parameters correlated to the residence identifier from the at least one database, and estimate an HVAC load of a residence corresponding to the residence identifier based on the plurality of parameters.

Abstract: A system for providing heating ventilation and cooling (HVAC) services includes a central server having an HVAC services module. The central server is communicatively coupled to at least one database, a credit system, a payment processing system, and an installation and maintenance scheduling system. The central server includes instructions configured to cause the central server to receive a residence identifier from a user portal, determine an estimated HVAC load of a building corresponding to the residence identifier, provide a user with a cost estimate based on the estimated HVAC load, and process a payment received from the user wherein the payment is based on the cost estimate.

Abstract: A method for commissioning an air handler including a blower and a motor to match a ducted application in a heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) system. The method including obtaining product and operational information regarding at least the motor and the blower, communicating a commanded torque to the motor, and operating the motor at the commanded torque. The method also includes receiving a motor signal indicative of an operating characteristic of the motor, determining at least an operational air flow based on at least the commanded torque, the operating characteristic, and the operational information, comparing an operational air flow to a desired airflow for a particular configuration of the HVAC system based on the operational information, and identifying and communicating a new commanded torque to the motor if the difference between the operational airflow and the desired airflow exceeds a selected tolerance.

Abstract: A system includes an emitter, a receiver, a wireless communications module, and a user interface module. The emitter, controlled by a first player, emits an emitter signal that includes emitter identification information. The receiver receives the emitter signal and generates a receiver signal that includes the emitter identification information. The gameplay cloud interface module receives the receiver signal and communicates an indication that includes player identification information associated the emitter identification information. The gameplay cloud interface module is further configured to receive scoring information that is based on the player identification information. The user interface module presents gameplay information based on the scoring information to the first player.

Abstract: The methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media described herein allow non-players to view and/or participate in augmented reality electronic games without actively engaging in the primary gameplay of those electronic games. As described herein, an augmented field of view based on virtual objects, virtual items, and/or other items may be provided to non-players over a computer network, such as a 802-compliant wireless network or a cellular network coupled to player communications devices. Non-players may provide non-player interactions with aspects of the augmented reality electronic game, including but not limited to: introduction of gameplay elements, modifications of virtual objects, instructions to assist or impede players in gameplay, instructions to control sensors near a player, and/or transactions (purchases, etc.) in-game economies supported by the augmented reality electronic game.

Abstract: A communications device may be configured to support gameplay. A display may be configured to display a view of a physical environment proximate to the display, and to display at a first location a virtual in-game object associated with the gameplay, the first position being over the view of the physical environment. An emitter may be configured to provide an emitter interaction signal related to a first in-game interaction with the virtual in-game object. A gameplay server may be configured to determine whether a projection of the in-game interaction overlaps a projection of the virtual in-game object in a virtual space, and to change a state of the virtual in-game object if the projection of the in-game interaction overlaps the projection of the virtual in-game object in the virtual space.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to determining, by a controller comprising a processor, that a coil associated with a heat pump is subjected to a defrost cycle, determining, by the controller, that at least one of: a conditioned space is occupied, and a thermostat associated with the conditioned space indicates that an energy saving mode is not in use, and enabling, by the controller, an auxiliary heat source based on the determination that the coil is subject to the defrost cycle and the determination that the conditioned space is occupied or the thermostat indicates that the energy saving mode is not in use.
