Thermostats control temp +/-2 degrees and are locked

Hi Kasandra,

The Reference Guide and CIRs do not address this issue specifically. However, I would ask you if you think the scenario reinforces the credit's intent? If you think it does then you should be able to make a clear case to your reviewer.

I see two parts to your question. There is the question around providing a limited temperature range and a question around having a locked thermostat. Personally, I am more concerned about the thermostat being locked. Why is it locked if you want to encourage controllability? How would people gain access to a key? If there is a new employee how do they know they can ask for a key? The real intent is to allow for employes to have access and ability to make temperature adjustments and a lock seems to work against this goal. Is there a lock because you have a variety of occupants, with only some occupants for which it would make sense to have control?

I would be clear on if you think you're meeting the intent. If you think you are then I think you will be able to set yourself up for success with a clear narrative.
