Temperature Range Limits
Building occupants tend to adjust the thermostat to suit their preferences. In order to ensure that energy is not being wasted by temperatures that are too cool or too warm, building management can set the thermostat so that adjustments can only be made within a certain accepted range. By programming an allowable temperature range, users will be able to adjust the thermostat to a level which is comfortable to them, but which is still within the range of what is efficient for the facility.

Thermostat
A thermostat is a component of the HVAC controls system. Detection and communication of the space temperature is a critical component of overall HVAC controls. Most new thermostat controls are DDC. Older pneumatic systems can be upgraded to DDC for better control. Zone control is critical. -
Low-Flow Shower
Low-flow showerheads use less than 2.5 gallons of water per minute GPM. Look for dual-flow shower controls that allow the user to reduce and restore the water flow during times of soaping and rinsing while maintaining the same temperature of the water. -
Composite Wood Furniture
Engineered wood, also known as composite wood, is man-made and includes a range of wood products that are bound together by adhesives. Plywood, particleboard, MDF and OSB are examples of composite wood. -
Paper Composite
Paper Composite is a type of solid surfacing countertop made from paper, fibers and resin. The resin typically does not come from recycled sources; however, it only constitutes a small portion of the material used. They are available in a range of colors, are very durable and handle heat well.
