Abstract:
A load control system automatically controls the amount of daylight entering a building through at least one window of a non-linear façade of the building. The load control system comprises at least two motorized window treatments located along the non-linear façade, and a system controller. The controller is configured to calculate an optimal position for the motorized window treatments at each of a plurality of different times during a subsequent time interval using at least two distinct façade angles of the non-linear façade, such that a sunlight penetration distance will not exceed a maximum distance during the time interval. The controller is configured to use the optimal positions to determine a controlled position to which both of the motorized window treatments will be controlled during the time interval and to automatically adjust each of the motorized window treatments to the controlled position at the beginning of the time interval.

Claim (Index 1):
A load control system for controlling an amount of daylight entering a space of a building through at least one window of a non-linear fa\u00e7ade of the building, the non-linear fa\u00e7ade characterized by at least two distinct fa\u00e7ade angles, the load control system comprising:\n at least two motorized window treatments located along the non-linear fa\u00e7ade for controlling the amount of daylight entering the space; and a system controller configured to transmit digital commands to the motorized window treatments for controlling the motorized window treatments, the controller configured to:\n calculate an optimal position for the motorized window treatments at each of a plurality of different times during a subsequent time interval using the at least two distinct fa\u00e7ade angles, the optimal position calculated to prevent a sunlight penetration distance from exceeding a desired maximum sunlight penetration distance at each of the plurality of different times during the time interval; \n use the optimal positions at the plurality of different times during the time interval to determine a controlled position to which the at least two motorized window treatments will be controlled during the time interval; and \n automatically adjust the position of each of the motorized window treatments to the controlled position at the beginning of the time interval so as to prevent the sunlight penetration distance from exceeding the desired maximum sunlight penetration distance during the time interval.
