First Claim
1. A wall module for controlling a temperature in a building space, the wall module comprising:
- a housing;
a temperature sensor disposed within the housing;
a touch screen display mounted relative to the housing;
a controller configured to control what is displayed on the touch screen display and to accept inputs received via the touch screen display;
a communication port operatively coupled to the controller for communicating with an HVAC controller that is remote from the wall module; and
the controller further configured to permit a user to alter a display arrangement of information displayed on the touch screen display, and to transmit the altered display arrangement to the HVAC controller such that the HVAC controller can subsequently provide the altered display arrangement back to the wall module.

Abstract
A wall module for controlling a temperature in a building space includes a housing and a temperature sensor disposed within the housing. A touch screen display is mounted relative to the housing and a controller is configured to control what is displayed on the touch screen display and to accept inputs received via the touch screen display. A communication port is operatively coupled to the controller for communicating with an HVAC controller that is remote from the wall module. The controller is configured to permit a user to alter a display arrangement of information displayed on the touch screen display, and to transmit the altered display arrangement to the HVAC controller such that the HVAC controller can subsequently provide the altered display arrangement back to the wall module and/or share the altered display arrangement with other wall modules.
