Subject: HVAC QIL: two actuators tied to one sensor now 

RXA: I talked with Modesto this morning. He had gotten the information at some point that our only problem was that we had 2 thermostats, and had not been told about the weird temperature fluctuations and the hot air. So I talked with him this morning so that he knows that we're going for stability in addition to using 1 sensor.

AWADE (Additional Info Wed Apr 24 19:42:32 2019 ): Modesto said that he set the temperature to 70 F.  

Modesto returned today to carry out the fix of the AC.  The south side hot actuator on the south vent was tied to the west wall thermostat.  So current status is that both heat/cooling actuators are tied to the one thermostat on the west wall.  Work was completed at 2 pm.

Modesto said he would be back tomorrow to check the system.

Quote:

Someone from Facilities named Modesto came out to the QIL to see the problem with the HVAC. He measured 80F coming out of the hot vent (when its thermostat was set to 68F) and 65F coming out of the cold vent. He was able to drop the hot vent to about 62F by turning the set point down to 55F (so the controller is at least working).

I asked that he set it up that both units are controlled by one temperature sensor. So he’s going to disconnect the hot vent controller from it’s thermostat and tie it into the thermostat for the cold side. This seems reasonable but could be potentially problematic if the HVAC units have significantly different responses.

Anyway, the current plan is for him to come in on Friday to do this work
