Abstract:
A temperature voting system which receives votes indicating the temperature preferences of a plurality of occupants within a given HVAC zone, and adjusts a set-point temperature of a corresponding HVAC system accordingly. The votes may be received via a mobile device, an employee workstation, or from one or more biomedical devices. Each occupant may manually enter and submit a vote for their preferred set-point temperature, or a software application may be configured to automatically cast a vote for the corresponding occupant according to user-configurable preferences or current metabolic state. The received votes may be weighted according to a status of the voter, and aggregated to determine an appropriate set-point temperature. In some embodiments, near-field communication devices, GPS location technology, or other technology may be used to automatically detect the presence of an occupant within a HVAC zone and cast the occupant's vote for a corresponding HVAC zone.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 15 , further comprising:\n weighting each of the plurality of votes to form a plurality of weighted votes, wherein the weighting the plurality of votes comprises giving a first vote associated with a first user of the plurality of votes a first weight and giving a second vote associated with a second user of the plurality of votes a second weight different than the first weight based on relative location of the first user to the zone of the building and relative location of the second user to the zone of the building, such that the first user vote cast within the zone of building is weighted greater than the second user vote cast outside the zone of the building, wherein the aggregated plurality of votes is formed based on an aggregation of the weighted plurality of votes.
