Zone based system for altering temperature setpoints
First Claim
1. An energy management system comprising:
- a database configured to store site data received from a residential site using a wireless home energy network, wherein the residential site includes a thermostat accessible to the wireless home energy network;
a processor operably coupled to the database and configured to access the site data and;
detect a current temperature set-point of the thermostat at the residential site;
detect a current operating mode of a HVAC system operably coupled to the thermostat;
detect a distance between a location reporting device and the residential site;
detect a current zone from a plurality of zones operably associated with the residential site using the distance;
detect a percentage value associated with the current zone for changing the current temperature set-point;
determine an updated thermostat set-point based on the current operating mode of the HVAC system and the current temperature set-point and the percentage value; and
initiate generation of a control action including the updated thermostat set-point to be communicated to the residential site.

Abstract
A system and method migrating virtualized environments is disclosed. According to an aspect of the disclosure, a home energy management system and method includes a database configured to store site report data received from a plurality of residential sites using a wireless home energy network at each site. Each residential site includes a thermostat accessible to the wireless home energy network. A processor is operably coupled to the database and configured to access the site report data and detect a current temperature set-point of the thermostat at a first residential site; detect a first seasonal profile of the thermostat; detect a current operating mode of a HVAC system operably coupled to the thermostat; and determine a thermostat schedule of the thermostat using the first seasonal profile and the current operating mode of the HVAC system.
