Abstract: An environmental control device (100, 200), such as a thermostat, is disclosed. The environmental control device (100, 200) has one or more terminals (104, 104a-104i) for connecting to an HVAC system (14) and performs over current management of the terminal (104, 104a-104i) when connected to the HVAC system (14).

Abstract: An environmental control device (100), such as a thermostat, is disclosed. The environmental control device (100) has one or more terminals (222, 222a-222d) and a respective configurable interface circuit (102, 102a-102d, 300) coupled to each terminal for selectively configuring the terminal (222, 222a-222d) for a corresponding input or output connection to an HVAC system (14).

Abstract: A system and method is provided that facilitates controlling and monitoring environmental conditions in buildings. The system may include at least one rack including: a plurality of slidable field panels mounted in a housing. The slidable field panels may be in side-by-side relation in a horizontal direction and may be configured to independently slide at least partially out of a front side opening of the housing via a plurality of slides. The slidable field panels may include a plurality of components mounted to vertical walls thereof, including: transformers and building control modules. The rack may also include a terminal panel including a plurality of connection terminals facing a back side opening of the housing. The connection terminals may be respectively wired to respective terminals of the transformers and building control.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system for auditing a total exposure of an entity, the total exposure forming the basis of a premium amount to be charged to the entity for an insurance policy. A first means for receiving a plurality of exposure information records from a first source is provided. Each of the exposure information records from the first source corresponds to a location of the entity and a class code associated with the location of the entity. A database, coupled to the first means for receiving, is provided for storing the exposure records from the first source.
