Adjust your thermostat’s temperature settings for a better comfort level, this can be done through your dashboard.
What is an Override?
An override is a manual adjustment that modifies the HVAC system's set point temporarily. When you perform an override, you are instructing the system to deviate from its regular programming and adjust the temperature by a specific degree. The set point can be adjusted up to 5 degrees either up or down.
Example Scenario: Suppose the HVAC system's cooling set point is set to 72 degrees Fahrenheit, and you want to make the building temporarily cooler. You would then have to perform an override and reduce the set point by 3 degrees for an hour and a half. This means that during the selected override period, the HVAC system will work to maintain a temperature of 69 degrees Fahrenheit, providing a cooler indoor environment.
Duration of an Override
- GlacierGrid Mobile App: Can be configured from 30 minutes up to 2 hours
- GlacierGrid Web App: 1 hour
- Please note: If you are using the Web App to perform a manual override, you must use the dashboard.
