Does the institution use timers to regulate temperatures based on occupancy hours in at least one building?:
A brief description of the technology used:
The University has over 130 buildings connected to our Building Automation System. Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning(HVAC) systems are either scheduled off during unoccupied hours, or temperatures are setback during unoccupied hours based on an occupancy schedule for each building. Some research buildings cannot shutdown the HVAC equipment due to research equipment cooling needs, ventilation requirements, or animal life support, but temperature setback is used wherever possible in spaces throughout the building. In addition, occupancy sensors are installed in nearly every office, classroom, and auditorium, to setback/up temperatures when not in use, even during building occupied hours.
The percentage of building space (square footage) with timers for temperature control:
