No one wants to spend more money than necessary on heating and airconditioning. But, everyone wants to be comfortable and cozy while at home. Thedevelopment of programmable thermostats was an initial effort to assist inreducing energy costs. With a programmable thermostat, you can manually preseta schedule of temperature increases and decreases for weekdays and weekends,and day and night periods, to keep your home cool or warm when needed, but saveenergy when not needed. Any adjustment to the schedule requires a manual changeat each thermostat. 现实生活中没有人愿意把钱花在暖气和空调上。但是，每个人都想在家里过得更加舒适。之前已经有的可编程恒温器用于帮助降低能源成本，使用这些可编程恒温器，用户就可以手动预设工作日和周末、以及白天和夜晚的温度调整时间表，以在需要时保持家庭凉爽或温暖，且在不需要时节省能源。对时间表的任何调整都需要在恒温器上进行手动更改。

With the increasing use of remote control systems and mobile apps,there are many home climate control programs that allow you to adjust your homeheating and/or air conditioning systems remotely using your smart phone orcomputer. With the first generation of these "smart home" systems youcan adjust your heat system or air conditioner from anywhere (via a mobile appor online site) to save energy while away, and have your housewarm or cool when you arrive home. The next generation of systems "learns"from your behaviors. After some number of days of your behaviors, and manualthermostat changes, the system learns when to lower or increase the temperatures.If your schedule changes, you can override these thermostat adjustmentsmanually either at the actual thermostat or remotely on a mobile device. Ifyour schedule is irregular, or if you have several people living in the housewith irregular schedules, many manual changes might be required.
随着越来越多的远程控制系统和移动应用程序的使用，有许多家庭智能控制程序，允许用户使用智能手机或计算机远程调整家庭供暖和/或空调系统。通过这些“智能家居”系统，您可以在任何地方（通过APP或者网页）调整您的供暖系统或空调，以便在您离开时节省能源，并在您到家时让您的房子保持温暖或凉爽。而下一代的系统将从您的行为中“学习”。经过几天的行为和手动恒温器调整后，系统会了解何时降低或升高温度。如果您的日程安排发生变化，您可以在家里的恒温器或远程移动设备上手动覆盖设置。如果您的日程安排有意外，或者您有更多的人住在房子里，以及时间表不规律的情况，都可能需要进行许多手动更改。

Consider the future generation of smart home climate control systemsthat will automatically and appropriately adjust the temperature of your housein response to your departure and in anticipation of your arrival no matter howirregular your schedule. Consider that a smart climate system should be able toincorporate some measure of ambient outside temperature variations, as well as geographical/regionalconditions such as humidity, allergens (e.g. dust mites,pollen, mold), and air pollution levels. Also, consider the system shouldintegrate your preferences for temperature (day, night, weekday, weekend) andother factors, such as humidity and air purity levels. Finally, consider systemrequirements if more than one person is living in your home or apartment(family members or roommates).
我们来设计这个新一代的智能家居气候控制系统，有如下特点：将根据用户的作息情况自动适当地调整用户房屋的温度，并且无论您的日程安排多么不规范，都可以在他离开的时候做出反应并且在他将要到达的时候做出预判。此外智能气候系统应该能够结合一些环境外部温度变化，以及地理/区域条件，如湿度，过敏原（例如尘螨，花粉，霉菌）和空气污染水平。另外请设计的时候整合考虑到用户对温度（白天，夜晚，工作日，周末）的偏好以及其他因素，例如湿度和空气纯度水平。最后，要考虑用户的家中或公寓（家庭成员或室友）可能住的不止一个人，这也要包含在你的设计里面。

1. To begin, assume that you live ina small home or apartment with only one thermostat (one heating/cooling zone)首先，假设您住在只有一个恒温器的小型家庭或公寓（升降温都是一个区域）

a. Model a potential next generation smart home climate control system.Develop an algorithm or algorithms for this system to perform the functionsdescribed above. Discuss how your system works.
为我们上面提到的智能家居气候控制系统建模，并且为该系统开发一种算法或一组算法来满足上述功能，讨论你们的系统是如何工作的。

b. Discuss the potential benefits and possible issues with your system,and compare your system with at least two other smart home climate controlsystems currently in use.
描述并讨论系统的优势和可能的问题，并将您的系统与目前使用的至少两个其他智能家居气候控制系统进行比较。

2.Describe and discuss how you would make changes to your system for a largerhome with additional thermostats to control several heating/cooling zones inthe home. 描述并讨论如何使用额外的恒温器来控制家中多个加热/冷却区域，以便为更大的家庭进行系统更改。

3. Write a one-pagenon-technical News Release describing your new system.
