- control unit 210 receives and stores an acceptable temperature 490.
- the temperature range is received from a remote computer, through a communication link 270 or 275.
- control unit 210 verifies 420 that the user set point is within the allowed temperature range 490. If the user set point is within the parameters the set point is accepted 425. If the user set point is outside the range, a message is displayed 425, and the new user set point is rejected.
- Yet another aspect of the invention utilizes a proportional sensor to set the demand point.
- a proportional opening allows for a window to be slightly opened, for example to accommodate air exchange, but have only a small effect on energy efficiency.
- Such proportional sensors may be implemented in many ways known in the art, ranging for example from a simple plurality of switches activated sequentially by the opening of the window or door, to resistance, capacitance, or reactance based sensor, to position encoders, and the like.
- the selection of the proportional sensor is a matter of technical choice and does not significantly effect this embodiment of the invention.
- One exemplary behavior of the energy demand unit 45, 46, or the system as a whole depending on the implementation, is to reduce the demand point by a portion of a pre-set temperature demand range parameter. Such behavior is shown in Fig. 5, where a window status is received from the proportional window sensor 505. If the window is closed, the demand point is set 525 equivalent to the user set point. If the window is opened, the degree to which the window is open is multiplied 515 by the temperature demand range, to produce a demand differential. The demand point of the energy demand unit is then reduced 520 by the demand differential.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un système de gestion de conditionnement d'air permettant de réguler le climat dans un espace régulé tel qu'une chambre, un appartement, ou un autre espace enfermé ayant une ouverture pouvant être fermée telle qu'une porte ou une fenêtre, et un capteur pour détecter si l'ouverture est ouverte ou fermée. L'espace régulé comporte une unité de demande en énergie de conditionnement d'air telle qu'un thermostat, qui est couplée à un générateur de conditionnement d'air tel qu'un élément chauffant, un climatiseur, et analogues. Le système est construit de façon à fournir une demande en énergie plus faible si l'ouverture est ouverte. Ainsi, par exemple, dans un système chauffant, le système répondra à l'ouverture de la fenêtre par la réduction de la température effective souhaitée définie par l'utilisateur. Un aspect facultatif de l'invention permet en outre l'enregistrement d'informations concernant la consommation en énergie de l'espace régulé.
