HVAC control system encouraging energy efficient user behaviors in plural interactive contexts

This invention describes a smart thermostat that learns a user's historical temperature settings. When the user adjusts the thermostat, it immediately checks if the new setting is energy efficient. If it is, the thermostat displays a visually appealing icon in real-time to encourage that responsible behavior.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of advanced machine learning for personalized energy optimization. Today, AI could significantly enhance the accuracy and adaptability of the historical behavior analysis and the generation of responsible setting criteria, making the feedback more effective.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateSoftware logic, display, thermostat electronics
