Bring back comfort lanes

If the facilities crew is worth a damn, that will only work for a few minutes. For instance cooling the thermostat may get the VAV to open and provide heat to an area, but if the temperature keeps decreasing over a defined period of time, the system should kick off an alert and someone will come check on why it’s not warming up. You are also liable to kick off alerts because of drastic temperature changes over short periods - you hang a bag of ice over sensor, and the temperature drops from 65° to 45°.

Building temperatures are a balancing act and nobody is ever happy.

Most places I’ve worked we managed all the thermostats through a BMS. The physical thermostats were locked out.
