Now you are ready to program your thermostat.
This section will help you plan your thermostat’s
program to meet your needs.
For maximum comfort and efficiency, keep the
following guidelines in mind when planning your
program.
• When heating (cooling) your building, pro-
gram the temperatures to be cooler (warmer)
when the building is vacant or during peri-
ods of low activity.
• During early morning hours, the need for
cooling is usually minimal.
PLANNING FOR YOUR NEEDS
First, answer the following questions to help you
decide what your needs are. If you are using the

building in the morning?

your Period 1 temperature settings.
2a. What time do the building occupants reach
a maximum activity level (using lights, equip-
ment, meeting rooms, etc.)?
b. What temperature should the building be at
this time? These will be your Period 2
