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.

20. A system comprising:
-
a sensor configured, during operation, to output a 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 signal; a transmitter configured, during operation, to transmit the signal; and a 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; and an environment regulator remote from the LED-based light, wherein the environment regulator is configured, during operation, to receive the transmitted signal and control a quality of air in the area in response to the transmitted signal. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A method comprising:
-
receiving, from a sensor, a signal indicative of an occupational state of an area in a building; operating, based on the signal, an LED-based light to provide artificial light to the area, the LED-based light being installed in a conventional light fixture via at least one standardized electrical connector; and transmitting, using a transmitter in the LED-based light, the signal to an environmental regulator; and controlling, based on the transmittal signal, a quality of air in the area using the environment regulator. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
