- Eliminated outdoor air intake during unoccupied time periods.
- Added a time schedule to the building automation system schedule to operate toilet exhaust fans only during occupied periods.
- Increased VAV box temperatures set point dead-bands.
- Energized minimum outdoor air intake duct heaters.
- Reprogrammed receiving room exhaust fan to run only when room lights are turned on.
