I'm no electrician, but there is a tab on the outlet than can be disconnected so that either the top or bottom outlet is connected to the swtich. That way, you could have a lamp connected to the top outlet slot, that is theoritically connected to the switch, and the bottem outlet slot, which would have a permanent electrical current through it.
Also, in our house, our air exchanger is hooked to a switch that is located on the main floor kitchen. Perhaps your switch is hooked to something like that.
That is all I've got.
