Patent ID: 10495333

Abstract:
Devices, systems, and methods for providing demand response are described herein. One device includes instructions executable to receive thermostat data associated with an operating thermostat of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system in a structure over a period of time, determine a first portion of the thermostat data corresponding to steady-state operation periods of the thermostat, determine a second portion of the thermostat data corresponding to operation periods of the thermostat that are responding to temperature setpoint changes, determine a third portion of the thermostat data corresponding to operation periods of the thermostat that are transitions between the steady-state operation periods and the operation periods that are responding to temperature setpoint changes, and create a steady-state model of the thermostat based on the first portion of the thermostat data, a setpoint-change model of the thermostat based on the second portion of the thermostat data, and a transition model of the thermostat based on the third portion of the thermostat data.
