Like, I take that to mean that they couldn't make a state building LEED certified. could you use state funds to purchase a programmable thermostat for a state building? Energy efficient windows? WHAT THE eff, YOU GUYS.
I don't even
programmable thermostat? energy efficient windows?
sounds like a bunch of liberal buzzwords to me.
correct
You realize that is ignorant, right?
programmable thermostats suck man. Way too hard to figure out, so no way the government could use it right.
That's why they pay people to take away their control.
That is an option between the customer and the power provider, not a requirement. Just say no and do what you want with your programmable device.
Also, LOL at programmable devices being hard to figure out. Most govt buildings around here are not govt buildings but are owned by some development/management group and the govt leases the building. That gives the govt the space and no responsibility for maint. In most of the cases that I have dealt with in KC, the fed govt rents the building and part of the rental agreement is that the building owner provides a building management/maint team who takes care of all such things. Therefore the EPA, FBI, etc doesn't need to bother themselves with how to understand how they work. They just call jerry in maint.
