Abstract

A method of controlling tint of a tintable window to account for occupant comfort in a room of a building. The tintable window is between the interior and exterior of the building. The method predicts a tint level for the tintable window at a future time based on a penetration depth of direct sunlight through the tintable window into the room at the future time and space type in the room. The method also provides instructions over a network to transition tint of the tintable window to the tint level.

Claims (35)

1. A method of controlling tint of a tintable window, the method comprising:

(a) determining clear sky irradiance through the tintable window at a future time;

(b) using the clear sky irradiance determined to modify a tint level of the tintable window; and

(c) transitioning, or generating a schedule to transition, tint of the tintable window to the tint level modified, wherein the tint level modified is based at least in part on a space type associated with the tintable window.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the clear sky irradiance comprises using window information.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the window information comprises an orientation angle of the tintable window.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tint level modified is based at least in part on a calculated penetration depth of sunlight through the tintable window at the future time.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising calculating the future time based at least in part on a transition time of the tintable window to tint to the tint level modified.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tint level modified is determined using the clear sky irradiance and sensor data.

7. An apparatus for controlling an environment of a building with a tintable window, the apparatus comprising at least one controller configured to:

(a) operatively couple to the tintable window;

(b) determine, or direct determination of, clear sky irradiance through the tintable window at a future time;

(c) use, or direct usage of, the clear sky irradiance determined to modify a tint level of the tintable window; and

(d) transition, or direct transition of, tint of the tintable window to the tint level modified, wherein the tint level modified is based at least in part on a space type associated with the tintable window.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the at least one controller is configured to determine, or direct determination of, the clear sky irradiance using window information.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the window information comprises an orientation angle of the tintable window.

10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the at least one controller is configured to modify, or direct modification of, the tint level based at least in part on a calculated penetration depth of sunlight through the tintable window at the future time.

11. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the at least one controller is configured to calculate, or direct calculation of, the future time based at least in part on a transition time of the tintable window to tint to the tint level modified.

12. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the at least one controller comprises:

a processor configured to perform at least (b) and (c); and

a pulse width modulator in communication with the processor and with the tintable window, the pulse width modulator configured to receive the tint level modified and transition, or direct transition of, tint of the tintable window to the tint level modified.

13. A system for controlling tint of a tintable window, the system comprises a network configured to:

(a) operatively couple to the tintable window;

(b) transmit a determination of clear sky irradiance through the tintable window at a future time;

(c) transmit a modification of a tint level of the tintable window, the modification determined using the clear sky irradiance; and

(d) transmit directions to transition tint of the tintable window to the tint level modified, wherein the tint level modified is based at least in part on a space type associated with to the tintable window.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the network is configured to transmit at least one data communication protocol for automatic control of subsystems.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the network is configured for transmitting cellular communication.

16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the network is operatively coupled to a power source and configured for power transmission.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the power source comprises a main power source, a backup power generator, or an uninterrupted power source.

18. The system of claim 13 , wherein the network is configured to utilize at least one wireless protocol that (i) utilizes radio frequency signals and/or (ii) facilitates communication with one or more sensors.

19. The system of claim 13 , wherein determining the clear sky irradiance comprises using window information.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the window information comprises an orientation angle of the tintable window.

21. The system of claim 13 , wherein the tint level modified is based at least in part on a calculated penetration depth of sunlight through the tintable window at the future time.

22. The system of claim 13 , further comprising calculating the future time based at least in part on a transition time of the tintable window to tint to the tint level modified.
