    An offset is the number of degrees above (in COOL mode) or below (in HEAT mode) the current target temperature setting programmed into the thermostat. If the utility selects a desired duty cycle, it will be shown as a percentage of time that your heating and/or air conditioning system operates, rather than the desired temperature.

  • Page 30: Starting A Temporary Temperature Hold During An Energy Event

    Starting a Temporary Temperature Hold during an Energy Event During an Energy Event you can always start a Temporary Hold through the Home Screen, following the procedure explained in the Temporary Hold section. In this case, when you press ACCEPT, a warning message will be displayed advising you that there is an Energy Event in progress, which are the limits specified by the event and when it will end.

  • Page 33: Conservation Screen

    Conservation Screen The Conservation feature allows you to choose your desired comfort level (i.e. from maximum comfort and no savings to maximum savings and minimum comfort) when energy prices increase. Please note that not all utilities provide price information over the communications link so this screen may not be activated for your program.
  • Page 34 By choosing the Balanced Level, price increases and temperature adjustments strike a balance between comfort and savings. The Savings Comfort Level places a higher value on savings over comfort such that the temperature adjustments are greater for a given price increase. Maximum Savings means that your thermostat will change the temperature in the direction of maximum energy savings every time there is an increase in the price of energy.

  • Page 35: Indicators Of Energy Events And Savings

    Indicators of Energy Events and Savings The Thermostat has four Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) located on the center portion of the case, below the LCD screen.
