1. A system for cycling loads in a building comprising:
- physical condition responsive means for sensing a physical condition;
memory means having a first group of locations for storing at least one schedule, said schedule containing information relating to a time sequence of operation for at least one load, said memory means having a second group of locations for storing at least one table, said table containing information relating to operational characteristics of each load covered by said table;
processing means connected to said physical condition responsive means and to said memory means for using said information contained in said schedule and table for cycling said loads on and off according to a predetermined cycle rate, each load having an on time and off time within a cycle, said processing means using said physical condition responsive means for resetting said off time; and
,connecting means connected to said processing means and adapted to be connected to said loads for cycling said loads whereby said off time of said loads are reset by said physical condition responsive means.
