Who controls the operating schedules for heating and cooling in my school?
A. There are two basic methods used to control the heating and cooling in MCPS schools. The most common method is with computer controlled energy management systems. A calendar of your schools monthly activity (normal school hours, plus evening community use) is used to determine the operating schedules for the heating and cooling systems. If there are any changes to the schedule, energy management must be contacted to make the appropriate changes. Some schools are not hooked up to the energy management system. They are under local control. The building service manager has direct control of the heating and cooling equipment. Either way, the operating periods of the heating and cooling systems are determined within the school, not by SERT or an outside office.
