1. A building control system incorporating an external calendar service, comprising:
- a schedule subsystem;
a schedule synchronization subsystem connected to the schedule subsystem; and
an external calendar configuration subsystem connected to the schedule synchronization subsystem; and
wherein;
the schedule subsystem comprises;
a building schedule mechanism for activating different subsystems in a building based on a configuration of a building schedule; and
a schedule change mechanism for creating, configuring and/or changing the building schedule; and
one or more building schedules map to one or more external calendars.

Abstract
A building control system incorporating an external calendar service, having a schedule subsystem, a schedule synchronization subsystem connected to the schedule subsystem, and an external calendar configuration subsystem connected to the schedule synchronization subsystem. The schedule subsystem may have a schedule object, a building schedule mechanism for activating different subsystems in a building based on a configuration of a building schedule, and a schedule change mechanism for creating, configuring and/or changing the building schedule.
