1. A system comprising:
- a sensor configured, during operation, to output a signal indicative of an occupational state of an area in a building;
an LED-based light configured, during operation, to provide artificial light to the area, the LED-based light including;
at least one standardized electrical connector, wherein the least one standardized electrical connector is compatible with a conventional light fixture;
at least one LED;
an LED controller configured, during operation, to control the at least one LED in response to the signal;
a transmitter configured, during operation, to transmit the signal; and
a housing enclosing the at least one LED, the LED controller, and the transmitter,wherein the housing is connected to the at least one standardized electrical connector; and
an environment regulator remote from the LED-based light, wherein the environment regulator is configured, during operation, to receive the transmitted signal and control a quality of air in the area in response to the transmitted signal.

Abstract
An LED-based light can be installed in a conventional light fixture. The LED-based light can include a sensor operable to output a signal indicative of whether an area of one or more of the rooms is in an occupied state or a non-occupied state, and the LED-based light can also include an LED controller operable to control at least one LED in the light in response to the signal. Additionally, the LED-based light can include a transmitter operable to output the signal indicative of whether the area is in the occupied state or the non-occupied state to a building environment regulator.
