A brief description of the technology used:
Yes, Luther uses software called Automated Logic to regulate temperatures based on occupancy hours in all buildings. Unoccupied building temperature increases 10 degrees during cooling months and drops 13 degrees during heating months. The sustainability office and heating plant staff have teamed up to make energy visits to different buildings. The purpose of these visits are to identity ways to improve occupant comfort while also reducing energy use.
