US Patent:

20210033098, Feb 4, 2021

Filed:

Aug 17, 2020

Appl. No.:

16/995148

Inventors:

- Lexington KY, US
Alex Christopher REED - Lexington KY, US
Richard A. OLESON - Lexington KY, US

David R. BANKS - Lexington KY, US

International Classification:

F04D 27/00
F04D 25/08
F24F 11/77
F24F 11/30

Abstract:

A fan, such as a ceiling fan, includes a learning mode of operation. This learning mode may permit a user to input a desired speed for the fan for a given condition, such as ambient temperature, and adjustments for other conditions would be automatically determined based on the user input. A subsequent selection of fan speed at that condition (such as, for example, for a different user) or a different condition setting would also be obtained, either during initialization or later, and then used as an updated measure of the desired fan speed for the condition. Related methods of controlling the operation of a fan are also disclosed.

International Classification:

F24F 11/00
G05D 27/02
H05B 37/02
G05D 25/02

Abstract:

An apparatus is provided for controlling environmental conditions using a fan and a light in connection with a building having a space including a partition, such as a wall. The apparatus may include a control adapted for being mounted to the partition and for coordinating the control of the fan and the light based on a sensed condition, such as temperature or occupancy. Groups of like devices for controlling environmental conditions may be similarly controlled, such as using control. Control may also provide an indication of an operational state of the device(s) controlled by it, or provide for control based on a preference of one or more people upon detecting their presence. Related methods are also described.
