I guarantee there is a breaker or three that would shut the whole thing down and still leave other items on.

My building was built in the late 70's. All the lights for every area have their own panel. Separate panel for recepticles. I find it extremely difficult to believe they "cannot shut them off". We have building automation too. Guess what? YOU CAN MANUALLY OVERRIDE EVERYTHING!!!! |

You do know there IS no breaker panel?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Building automation is such a shitshow. Causes more problems than it solves And it's only getting worse. Performance contracting is a scam. They spend thousands and thousand of dollars on Niagra or similar supervisor systems, then let Joe Lawnmower try to run it. Save the money, send Joe Lawnmore to school, invest in your people not the hoo-doo AI software. Rant off.

My high school was built in the late 1970s, by a contractor that embezzled a fair amount of the budget (and did the same to several other schools he was building at the time). The interior walls were 1/4" sheetrock. The halls constantly had holes in the walls because someone got bumped into them. The fad at the time was a sealed building for energy efficiency, but the builder didn't install the correct HVAC system, so there was no fresh air inflow. Everyone got drowsy at the end of the day because co2 level got high from 800 kids breathing...
The cafeteria was actually supposed to be the indoor pool, and even had a retracting wall so there would be seating for tournaments. Because so much of the funds were stolen, the pool was scrapped and the space converted to be the cafeteria (ever see an Olympic pool sized school cafeteria with 40' ceiling and an alcove for diving boards? The contractor was eventually arrested, convicted, and went to prison for a while, but the money was gone. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I guarantee there is a breaker or three that would shut the whole thing down and still leave other items on. How fucking stupid are school administrators? Seriously. No matter what fancy computer controls you put in, there is 100% guaranteed a disconnect between the power feed and the controls. More likely they're afraid if they shut it down the lights won't turn back on, which is possible. It's still not that hard a fix for a summer project, so it goes back to my first statement above. |

Article says they are turning off some breakers... Teachers are unscrewing led lamps to darken rooms for presentations...
All the schools I've built around here are occupancy controlled with manual overrides for the interior and photocell overridden time clocks for exterior. Fuck those lighting scene controls...looking at you Creston. |

They can't get an electrician, or, someone who understands how to work the computer to fix it? For more than a year?
And they are entrusted with preparing kids for the future? |
