[BLDG-SIM] Reducing HVAC operational period

[Vikram Sami]

I'm guessing if you have no operable windows and you have occupancy at
that time, you will have a LOT of unhappy campers - regardless of
climate type. You need fresh air to be productive.  One option could be
to maintain fan power and fresh air, but set the temperature higher (in
tropical climates).
 
Lighting reduction will depend on how well you design the spaces for
daylight harvesting. Again - you don't want people working in the dark. 
 
Hope this helps.

Dear All,

What are the chances that reducing HVAC operating hours (i.e. starting
it at 9.00am rather than 8.30am in the morning and shutting it down 30
minutes before closing hours), will affect indoor air quality and
productivity in office buildings in Tropical climates.

Additionally, could lighting period be reduced during the working period
and for how long within the same tropical conditions.
