I manage a large office building with over 100 employees, and most of them have their own office. The building is in a city with a warmer climate, so I like to be sure that the HVAC system is in full working order. Unfortunately, however, having so many employees means that there are differences in what they would like the thermostat to be set at. Some employees prefer to have their office at a cooler temperature, while other employees prefer to work in a warmer office. After unsuccessful attempts at trying to find a temperature to make everyone happy, I decided to have smart thermostats with zone control installed. Smart thermostats are connected to wifi, and can be controlled through an app on the phone, or computer. Zone control is achieved by installing valves within the ductwork, in order to control the flow of air throughout the building, allowing for different offices to be set at different temperatures. Programming the smart thermostats is simple, and requires little training for my employees to learn how to use them. Thanks to the smart thermostats with zone control, every employee can have their office set to the temperature that makes them the most comfortable. At first I thought that giving employees control over the thermostat would add more costs to the energy bills, but smart thermostats are incredibly energy efficient, and have actually reduced the money spent on energy bills each month.
