Patent number: 11131474Abstract: A controller for controlling an environmental condition of a building via building equipment includes a user interface configured to present information to a user, an air quality sensor configured to sense indoor air quality conditions, a communications interface configured to communicate with a server system and receive outdoor air quality data from the server system, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to generate indoor air quality data based on the sensed indoor air quality data conditions sensed by the air quality sensor, receive, via the communications interface, the outdoor air quality data from the server system, and generate one or more interfaces indicating the indoor air quality conditions and the outdoor air quality conditions based on the indoor air quality data and the outdoor air quality data and cause the user interface to display the one or more interfaces.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2019Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: Johnson Controls Tyco IP Holdings LLPInventors: Alan S. Schwegler, Joseph R. Ribbich, Corey A. Poquette, Michael F. Kornacki, Brent T. Ellis, Benjamin W. Hapka

Patent number: 10808958Abstract: A thermostat includes a housing, a touch-sensitive display configured to display visual media and receive user inputs, and processing electronics configured to operate the touch-sensitive display. The housing includes a base and a display mount. The base includes a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall connecting the top wall to the bottom wall, a first side wall connecting the top wall to the bottom wall, and a second side wall connecting the top wall to the bottom wall. The top wall, the bottom wall, the first side wall, and the second side wall define an internal volume. The display mount is cantilevered away from the top wall and includes a mounting surface. The display is attached to the mounting surface. The processing electronics are positioned within the interior volume.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2018Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Joseph R. Ribbich, Vinosh C. Diptee, Julio A. Abdala, Claudio Santiago Ribeiro, Charles J. Gaidish, Michael F. Kornacki, John P. Cipolla, Sudhi Sinha, Michael L. Ribbich

Patent number: 10677484Abstract: A system for a plurality of thermostats each located in a different building in a neighborhood. Each thermostat includes a processing circuit configured to receive one or more assigned operating time slots from an analytics service and operate building equipment associated with the thermostat based on the one or more assigned operating time slots. The system further includes the analytics service. The analytics service includes a processing circuit configured to receive weather forecast data from a weather service and predict a period of time during which an energy usage peak will occur for the plurality of buildings based on the weather forecast data, determine the one or more operating time slots based on the period of time, assign the one or more operating time slots to each of the plurality of thermostats, and send the one or more assigned operating time slots to the plurality of thermostats.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2017Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Joseph R. Ribbich, Michael J. Ajax, Michael F. Kornacki, Scott T. Holland, Youngchoon Park, Maria L. Mejia

Publication number: 20200003448Abstract: A facility management portal and associated user interface can be used for remote monitoring, servicing, and commissioning of a Building Management System (BMS) and associated devices. Building stakeholders can use the facility management portal to configure smart thermostat devices with various settings or parameters associated therewith. For example, building stakeholders may create device profiles associated with smart thermostat devices and provide different device profiles to different groups of thermostat devices installed in a building. Moreover, stakeholders can use the facility management portal to monitor data such as energy consumption and air quality associated with buildings. Building tenants can interact with control devices such as smart thermostats and associated mobile applications to initiate maintenance or emergency notifications relayed through the facility management portal.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2019Publication date: January 2, 2020Inventors: Alan S. Schwegler, Paul Michael Nowak, Michael F. Kornacki, Ryan J. Bykowski, Kierstyn R. Robbins, Bridget E. Kapler, Vineet Binodshanker Sinha, Sayan Chakraborty, Kerry M. Bell
