6.6.1 Space Temperature Control

Space Thermostat Throttling Range
Applicability All HVAC zones
Definition The number of degrees that the room temperature must change to cause the HVAC system to go from no heating or cooling (i.e., space temperatures floating) to full heating or cooling.
Units Degrees Fahrenheit (°F)
Input Restrictions The prescribed value is 2°F. No input is needed and the prescribed value may not be overridden.
Baseline Rules Same as the proposed design
Space Temperature Schedule
Applicability All HVAC zones
Definition An hourly space thermostat schedule
Units Data structure: temperature schedule
Input Restrictions The schedules specified in Appendix B, Table 7 and detailed in Appendix C shall be used as a default. When the default temperature schedule is overridden, the user must provide justification for use of nonstandard space temperature schedule assumptions.
Baseline Rules Schedules in the baseline building shall be identical to the proposed design.
