The cycle of air temperature in the office follows a daily pattern.
From 12:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., the temperature gradually decreases to 65 degrees, ensuring a comfortable working environment when employees arrive in the morning.
At 7:00 a.m., the thermostat adjusts to maintain the temperature at 65 degrees throughout the working hours.
From 7:00 p.m. onwards, the thermostat increases the temperature setting to 80 degrees, aiming to save energy overnight when the office is unoccupied.
Throughout the night, the temperature remains steady at 80 degrees to conserve energy until the next morning at 7:00 a.m.
This daily cycle of adjusting the temperature helps to ensure a comfortable workspace during working hours while also conserving energy during non-working hours.
