Patent number: 10208974Abstract: According to various aspects and embodiments, a system and method for controlling temperature in a control zone within a building is provided. According to some embodiments, the method includes receiving measured wind condition data external to the building and measured tracer gas concentration data in the control zone for a sample time interval and calculating an air flow characteristic for the sample time interval based on the measured tracer gas concentration data. The method further includes using the air flow characteristic in a temperature control loop for the control zone. According to some embodiments, the air flow characteristic is an air change rate (ACR) that may be used in determining a preheat time interval.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2016Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC BUILDINGS, LLCInventor: Paul Winslow Merrill

Publication number: 20060037261Abstract: Provided is a window cover system designed to eliminate the problems related to windows that do not provide a proper barrier to the outside, nor a capable retainment system for the inside climate. The window cover system includes a flange and retainer system that is easily attached to a window casing by means of screws, and a snap on cover. The cover can be comprised of plastic, tinted or colored, or made of a screen-type material. The window cover system of the present invention may be installed by one individual, quickly, efficiently, and at a low cost.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2004Publication date: February 23, 2006Inventors: William Callahan, Paul Winslow
