Abstract: Aspects of the invention are directed towards a system and a method for configuring a communication interval of one or more sensing devices. One or more embodiments of the invention describe a method comprising steps of receiving a signal strength value from one or more sensing devices and determining an apparent distance between a regulating device and each of the one or more sensing devices based on the signal strength value. The method further comprising step dynamically ranking the one or more sensing devices based on the apparent distance and based on the ranking of the one or more sensing devices, configuring a communication interval for each of the one or more sensing devices.

Abstract: An example method for thermally preconditioning a meeting space includes determining that a meeting is electronically scheduled for a meeting space for a plurality of attendees. A thermal preconditioning setpoint for the meeting space is determined based on individual thermal preferences of the plurality of attendees, and a historical setpoint of the meeting space. A time required to achieve the thermal preconditioning setpoint is determined based on the thermal preconditioning setpoint and a temperature of the meeting space before the scheduled meeting. Thermal preconditioning of the meeting space is initiated based on the determined thermal preconditioning setpoint and the determined time.
