applied to the ' tenant group' shall automatically be downloaded to control
modules affecting spaces occupied by the ' tenant group'.
4. Intelligent Scheduling: The control system shall be intelligent enough to
automatically turn on any supporting equipment needed to control the
environment in an occupied space. If the operator schedules an individual

automatically turn on the VAV air handling unit, chiller, boiler and/or any other
equipment required to maintain the specified comfort and environmental
conditions within the room.
5. Partial Day Exceptions: Schedule events shall be able to accommodate a

5. Reference Labels: Labels shall be similar to wires in that they are used to
form logical connections between two points. Labels shall form a connection
by reference instead of a visual connection, i.e. two points labeled 'A' on a
drawing are logically connected even though there is no wire between them.
6. Parameter: A parameter shall be a value that may be tied to the input of a
microblock.
7. Properties: Dialog boxes shall appear after a microblock has been inserted
