1. A system comprising:
- a sensor configured, during operation, to output a first 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 first signal,a transmitter configured, during operation, to transmit, based on the first signal, a second signal to an environmental regulator configured to control a quality of air in the area in response to the second signal, anda 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.

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.
