Patent number: 10900687Abstract: An HVAC controller includes a touch-responsive display and a scheduling grid having one or more rows representing a 24 hour period of a day-of-week. A user selects an operation to be performed such as adding or deleting a scheduled event, such as a period of occupancy or non-occupancy. A visual representation of the available operations and the temporal regions subject to the available operations is presented. A user may then select the desired region on which to perform the operation, the operation is visually represented on the touch-responsive display, and the user indicates whether the operation should be saved or discarded. The operation may be applied to additional remote HVAC devices in a single operation.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Trane International Inc.Inventors: Charles P. Quistad, Scott Cress, Rick Kloeppner, Amit Samtani, James Brink, Rachel Michael Nilsson, Sean Fuller Mosley, Zachary Frank Stark, Brian J. Politiske, Susan M. Mairs

Patent number: 9864350Abstract: In at least one illustrative embodiment, a building automation system may comprise a communication network compatible with at least one building automation system communication protocol, a control system coupled to the communication network, and a building automation server coupled to the communication network. The building automation server may be configured to receive at least one event message over the communication network from the control system in response to a corresponding condition occurring on the control system, access past event messages generated by the control system in response to past occurrences of the corresponding condition, and generate event alert data as a function of the received at least one event message and the retrieved past event messages, the event alert data identifying (i) a name of the corresponding condition, (ii) a real-time status of the control system, and (iii) a quantitative summary of the past occurrences of the corresponding condition.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2014Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: Trane International, Inc.Inventors: Benedict John Eiynk, Mitchel James Anderson, Susan M. Mairs, Rachel Michael Nilsson, Mark Everett Martin
