Utility Cost Savings From Thermostat Control
Monitor the thermostat
You will always have disputes among workers regarding the perfect temperature for your work environment. The solution to this constant battle is to regulate the thermostat and keep the office at a constant temperature. Some businesses install a lock box around the thermostat so that only management personnel can adjust the unit.
For cost savings, simply keeping your building a few degrees colder in the winter and warmer in the summer can impact your budget in a positive way. The cost savings will vary depending on your location, building size and type of heating/cooling unit.
