Office thermostat range is 70-74 oF. This means that the thermostat in your office can only be set to a temperature within that range. When the occupancy sensor no longer detects motion within your office, the thermostat will increase up to 5 degrees above the set point.

Once the occupancy sensor detects motion within your office, the system will work to cool your office to the set point temperature. Please note, this may take 1-2 hours to reach the set point temperature.

Example: Your set point temperature on the thermostat is 72 oF, when your office is not occupied, the thermostat will increase to 77 oF to conserve energy.
