Does the institution use timers to regulate temperatures based on occupancy hours in at least one building?:
Yes

A brief description of the technology used:

Building control systems are used to regulate temperatures based on occupancy hours are used in 50% of buildings on campus. Where possible, temperatures in university buildings that are on the central control system will be set at approximately 70 degrees in the winter and 76 degrees in the summer. Those temperatures will be used during regular business hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday. Off-hour temperatures are based on building occupancy typically of 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. and weekends will be set as low as 60 degrees and up to 80 degrees. Actual room temperatures can be within two degrees (plus or minus) of the new set points.
