Does the institution use timers to regulate temperatures based on occupancy hours in at least one building?:
Yes
None
A brief description of the technology used:
Our campus Building Automation System (BAS) is able to schedule areas for unoccupied modes. Each individual zone (area controlled by thermostat) is attached to timed occupied/unoccupied schedules which are determined by coordinating with the building occupants.
In 2 buildings, lighting occupancy sensors are tied into the HVAC setbacks. The buildings that utilize this technology are the Gorrie Building and the Soccer & Track Building. When the lights are turned off by the occupancy sensors in offices, those areas go to a standby mode. In the standby mode, the controlling offsets are changed from plus or minus 0.5 degrees to plus or minus 4 degrees. If the buildings are set for unoccupied mode, the offsets increase even further.
None
The percentage of building space (square footage) with timers for temperature control:
