Abstract

Methods of controlling tint of a tintable window to account for occupant comfort in a room of a building. Some methods include receiving weather feed data from one or more weather services (or other data sources) over a communication network, determining a weather condition based on the weather feed data, and determining a tint level for the tintable window based on the weather condition and based on whether a current time is within a time delay period at sunrise or sunset.

Claims (38)

1 . A method of controlling tint of one or more zones of tintable windows in a building, the method comprising:

determining a tint level for a first zone of one or more tintable windows based at least in part on (i) a calculation of clear sky irradiance; (ii) weather data generated by an external data source; and (iii) an internal space type associated with the first zone of one or more tintable windows; and

sending a tint command to transition the first zone of one or more tintable windows to the tint level determined.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the determination of the tint level is based at least in part on the weather data combined with sensor data.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the sensor data is (A) received from a ring sensor and/or (B) received from a plurality of photosensors.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first zone of one or more tintable windows is in a subdivided location of the building.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the internal space type is associated with occupant comfort in a room of the building.

6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

implementing, when no occupant is present in the room, an override such that the internal space type is disengaged from being associated with occupant comfort in the room of the building.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first zone of one or more tintable windows includes multiple tintable windows (A) facing at least one direction and/or (B) on at least one side of the building.

8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a tint level for a second zone of one or more tintable windows based at least in part on the calculation of clear sky irradiance and the weather data generated by the external data source.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the second zone of one or more tintable windows is in another subdivided location of the building.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein one or more tintable windows in the first zone faces a first direction and one or more tintable windows in the second zone faces a second direction.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first zone and the second zone are associated with the same internal space of the building.

12 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining the clear sky irradiance; and

augmenting the clear sky irradiance determined with the weather data generated by the external data source.

13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the internal space type is associated with occupant comfort.

14 . A method of controlling tint of one or more zones of tintable windows in a building, the method comprising:

determining a tint level for a first zone of one or more tintable windows based at least in part on (i) a calculation of clear sky irradiance and (ii) weather data generated by an external data source; and sending a tint command to transition the first zone of one or more tintable windows to the tint level determined; and

determining a tint level for a second zone of one or more tintable windows based at least in part on the calculation of clear sky irradiance and the weather data generated by the external data source,

wherein the first zone of one or more tintable windows faces a first direction and/or is on a first side of the building, and wherein the second zone of one or more tintable windows faces a second direction and/or is on a second side of the building.

15 . A system for controlling tint of one or more zones of tintable windows in a building, the system comprises a network configured to:

operatively couple to the one or more zones of tintable windows;

transmit a determination of a tint level for a first zone of one or more tintable windows based at least in part on (i) a calculation of clear sky irradiance and (ii) weather data generated by an external data source;

transmit instructions to transition the first zone of one or more tintable windows to the tint level determined;

transmit a determination of the clear sky irradiance; and

transmit a determination of an augmentation of the clear sky irradiance determined with the weather data generated by the external data source.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the determination of the tint level is based at least in part on the weather data combined with sensor data.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the sensor data is (A) received from a ring sensor and/or (B) received from a plurality of photosensors.

18 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the first zone of one or more tintable windows is in a subdivided location of the building.

19 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the determination of the tint level is further based on an internal space type associated with the first zone of tintable windows, and wherein the internal space type is associated with occupant comfort in a room of the building.

20 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the first zone of one or more tintable windows includes multiple tintable windows (A) facing at least one direction and/or (B) on at least one side of the building.

21 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the network is further configured to transmit a determination of a tint level for a second zone of one or more tintable windows based at least in part on the calculation of clear sky irradiance and the weather data generated by the external data source.

22 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the second zone of one or more tintable windows is in another subdivided location of the building.

23 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the first zone of one or more tintable windows faces a first direction and the second zone of one or more tintable windows faces a second direction.

24 . The system of claim 23 , wherein the first zone and the second zone are associated with the same internal space of the building.

25 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the first zone of one or more tintable windows faces a first direction and/or is on a first side of the building, and wherein the second zone of one or more tintable windows faces a second direction and/or is on a second side of the building.
