3.4 Event Response Settings

3.4.1 Conservation Settings
During price conservation events, Foundation uses your Conservation Settings to determine how to
adjust the temperature. It can adjust the temperature by up to 9°F (5°C). Foundation either adjusts the
temperature to a nominal pricing rate, or keeps the temperature constant at the higher price level.
For more information about these events, see
Note: Not all utilities provide pricing information over the communications link. In addition, Foundation
will ignore the price conservation event if your Conservation Settings are set to Maximum Comfort or
you have chosen to set a Temporary Hold which overrides the event.
Use the Conservation Settings to prioritize either comfort or savings. The Conservation Settings screen
uses a pie chart to show the balance between comfort and savings. Each chart segment represents a
different level of comfort and savings.
If your home is uncomfortable during price events and you frequently set a temporary
hold or adjust the target temperatures, try increasing the comfort setting by one level.
