PROGRAMMING YOUR THERMOSTAT
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 guide-
lines in mind when planning your program.
• When heating (cooling) your building, program the tem-
peratures to be cooler (warmer) when the building is vacant
or during periods of low activity.
• During early morning hours, the need for cooling is usually
minimal.
