Abstract:
A system and associated methods of operation for regulating an environmental variable (such as ambient room temperature) within a target zone. The system includes an occupancy sensor configured to monitor the target zone and determine a number of inhabitants present within the zone. The occupancy sensor generates an occupancy signal communicating the number of detected inhabitants to an environmental control system. Upon receiving the occupancy signal, the environmental control system regulates an environmental variable within the zone based on the number of inhabitants present in the zone.

Claim (Index 40):
A computer-readable storage medium comprising program code that, when executed by a processor, performs method for regulating an environmental variable, the method comprising:\n monitoring, via a at least one sensor, a target zone; measuring, via the at least one sensor, at least one skin parameter from two or more inhabitants occupying the target zone; generating, via the at least one sensor, a sensor signal communicating the measured skin parameter; receiving, via a processor in operative communication with the at least one sensor and a storage medium, the sensor signal from the at least one sensor; querying, via the processor, the storage medium to retrieve at least one threshold setpoint relating to the measured at least one skin parameter; determining, via the processor, a variance between each measured skin parameter and the at least one threshold setpoint; generating, via the processor, an operation mode signal based on a function of the determined variances; receiving, via an environmental control system in operative communication with the processor, the operation mode signal; and regulating, via the environmental control system, an environmental variable within the target zone based on the operation mode signal.
