Abstract: Illustrative embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods and systems for receiving physiological data of occupants of a building and using the information to control or regulate a controllable setpoint of a climate-control system for the building. The system may operatively interface with biofeedback sensors including wearable sensors and mountable sensors placed within a controlled space within the building. The system may adjust the controllable setpoint of the climate-control system based on a comfort metric associated with at least one of the occupant of the building, the comfort metric derived from the biofeedback data.

Abstract: Techniques for determining efficiency ratings for businesses are disclosed. A computing device can identify energy efficient entities (e.g., homes, buildings, businesses, points of interest, etc.) for a geographic region. The efficiency of an entity can be determined based on that entity's consumption of resources including, for example, electricity, water, natural gas, etc., that are delivered to a dwelling or commercial structure of the entity, for example. Entities can be scored and ranked based on their respective energy efficiencies. Such entity efficiency information can be presented to users, for example, in the form of a listing of entities (e.g., “green business guide”) that provides various information describing those entities, together with respective efficiency ratings for each of the businesses. Users can reference the listing, for example, when deciding which businesses to support in an effort to promote businesses that value energy conservation.

Abstract translation: 披露了确定企业效率等级的技术。 计算设备可以识别用于地理区域的能量效率实体（例如，家庭，建筑物，商业，兴趣点等）。 例如，实体的效率可以基于该实体的资源消耗来确定，包括例如电力，水，天然气等被输送到实体的住宅或商业结构。 实体可以根据各自的能源效率进行评分和排名。 这样的实体效率信息可以例如以提供描述这些实体的各种信息的实体（例如，“绿色业务指南”）的列表的形式以及每个业务的各自的效率等级被呈现给用户。 用户可以参考上市，例如在决定哪些企业支持时，努力促进重视节能的企业。

Abstract: Techniques for providing personalized energy use information are described herein. An energy information system can obtain one or more of demographic, psychographic, behavioral, or consumption data for each of a plurality of utility customers, and segment the plurality of utility customers into a plurality of categories based on the demographic, psychographic, behavioral, or consumption data. The energy information system can select a target category from the plurality of categories based on a predetermined achievement goal and generate communications content based on historic energy consumption data for the target category. The energy information system can select an outbound communication channel for communicating with the target category. The energy information system can deliver one or more communications to the target category through the outbound communication channel at a specified time, where the one or more communications include at least a portion of the communications content.
