  • System for measuring energy conservation effectiveness
    Patent number: 10288651
    Abstract: An observed space having energy consuming devices with conservation mechanisms, algorithms, techniques, or applications. The devices having their conservation applications engaged may be a normal mode. When the conservation applications are disengaged, the devices may be in a reference mode. An amount of energy consumption by the devices in the normal mode may be compared with an amount of energy consumption by the devices in the reference mode to determine an energy conservation effectiveness of the devices in the observed space.
    Type: Grant

  • Illuminating devices and systems
    Patent number: 9615429
    Abstract: Illuminating devices and systems are described herein. One illuminating device embodiment includes a computing component configured to determine a change in a state associated with a room in which the illuminating device is located based on a signal from a sensor, and an illuminating component configured to illuminate the illuminating device at a predefined setting associated with the determined state change and discontinue illuminating the illuminating device a predefined amount of time after the change in the state.
