Abstract: A system for providing a simulated window utilizing environmental controls operable within a building automation system is disclosed. The system includes a building automation network deployed within a structure, a plurality of environmental controls in communication with the building automation network, where the plurality of automation controls are configured to control one or more environmental conditions within a space defined within the structure, a controller in communication with the plurality of environmental controls via the building automation network. The controller is configured to execute a first environmental control program to drive at least one of the plurality of environmental controls to a set point, and execute a transient environmental control program to increase an output of at least one of the plurality of environmental controls relative to the first environmental control program.
