Abstract
Techniques for performing an emissions demand response event are described. In an example, a cloud-based HVAC control server system obtains a history of emissions rates. Based on the history of emissions rates, a future time period of predicted high emissions is identified. An emission demand response event participation level of an account mapped to a thermostat is determined for the future time period of predicted high emissions. The emissions demand response event participation level may be one of a plurality of emissions demand response event participation levels. based on the emissions demand response event participation level of the account, an emissions demand response event is generated during the future time period of predicted high emissions. The cloud-based HVAC control server system then causes a thermostat to control an HVAC system in accordance with the generated emissions demand response event.
