IV.  Feature Description

Comfort Window provides true comfort control,
saves   electricity   costs,   and   gives   you   a
convenient and elegant user interface.

Comfort Control

Comfort   Window   builds   on   the   traditional
model of a programmable thermostat, adding
a   crucial   layer   for   comfort   control.     With

ComfortWindow

  technology,   the   Comfort

Window   not   only   eases   the   programming
difficulties of most programmable thermostats,
it also provides baseline comfort settings used
when there are no program entries set to run.
Additionally,   with   humidity/   temperature
compensation,   you   won't   feel   clammy   or
sweaty   when   your   thermostat   is   supposedly
within the appropriate temperature range, but
instead Comfort Window will compensate the
temperature   to   accommodate   what   humidity
levels are in your home.   As such, users will
feel   less   variation   in   comfort   when   they   set
their thermostat to any given value. 
Comfort Window does the hard work for you
by calculating things like heat enthalpy which
take   into   account   the   humidity   within   the   air
rather than relying solely on a raw temperature
reading.   This will enable you to concentrate
on   more   important   things   in   life,   rather   than
being   bothered   by  changing   your   thermostat
every time the humidity levels change within
your home.

To   help   you
visualize   how   the
temperature   and
humidity   levels   in
your

 

home

correspond to your
personalized
comfort   settings,
Comfort
Window   also
provides a quick
way   to   view
your   home's   current   conditions.     The

ComfortWindow

  technology   on   the   home

screen   will   show   the   current   conditions   in
graphical   format,   with   temperature   on   the
vertical   axis   and   humidity   on   the   horizontal
axis.  As long as the dot is within the window
on your home screen, you can know that your
home   is   within   your   personal   window   of
comfort.   

ComfortWindow

  technology not only

provides a quick and easy way to view if your
home is within your window of comfort, it also
provides a way to make sure your thermostat
is doing its job to save you money for times
when   the   current   condition   point   should   be
outside   of   your  

ComfortWindow

  settings   (ie:

during a program entry).
To   change   your    

ComfortWindow

  settings,

simply touch the   

ComfortWindow   

quickview

graph   or   go   into   the   settings   and   touch
Comfort Window Settings.
