Building model generation and intelligent light control for smart windows

Abstract

A smart window system is provided. The system includes a plurality of smart windows, each having at least one electrochromic window and a plurality of sensors. The system includes a control system coupling the plurality of smart windows and the plurality of sensors. The control system is configured to couple to a network, and configured to generate a building model that includes information regarding the plurality of smart windows and is based on information from the plurality of sensors and information from the network.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 receiving sensor information from sensors of an electrochromic window system;   generating a building model referencing each electrochromic window of the window system, wherein at least a portion of the building model is based on the sensor information and information from a network coupled to the window system; and   controlling each electrochromic window of the window system based on the building model.
