ES4: Programmable thermostat with adaptive recovery capability

Purpose

Programmable thermostats can be used to suit the needs of the occupants in the cooling or heating seasons during periods when a building is occupied and when it is not. Proper use of programmable thermostats can assist occupants with reducing energy consumption by allowing them to program a schedule that reduces runtime.

Criteria

All heating and cooling equipment must have a programmable indoor thermostat or thermostat installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Building occupants should be provided the user manual as education for proper use and maintenance of thermostats.

Confirmation

The EarthCraft Technical Advisor will visually confirm compliance of criteria at final inspection.
