Program a setback schedule into the existing thermostat and prove it engages, the public library's reading room thermostat, Yorktown, TX 78164 (DeWitt County).

The public library's reading room thermostat holds one constant setpoint around the clock -- it has a schedule menu but nothing is programmed into it, so the room is conditioned to the same comfort band at 3am closed as it is at 2pm full of patrons.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

before mode/setpoint record + full schedule program + schedule-active confirmation + transition bench-test + GPS

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. 1. Read and record the thermostat's current mode and constant setpoint exactly as found before changing anything.
2. 2. Enter the thermostat's schedule menu and program the setback: separate setpoints for occupied and unoccupied hours matched to the library's own posted hours.
3. 3. Save the program and confirm the display shows schedule mode active, not a manual hold.
4. 4. Run the bench test: step the thermostat's clock to (or wait for) the next scheduled transition and record the setpoint actually changing on the display at the programmed time.

What counts as done

• Before record of the thermostat's mode and constant setpoint as found
• Full schedule program entered (occupied/unoccupied setpoints and times), recorded field by field
• Photo of the display confirming schedule mode is active, not a manual hold
• Bench-test record of the setpoint changing on the display at the programmed transition time

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Energy Efficiency Audit. Energy efficiency work begins with the walkthrough audit, the kind the ASHRAE standard describes: a trained eye moving through a building, reading the bills, the walls, the lights, and the equipment, and coming out with the short list of fixes worth doing first. Mastery looks like an auditor who can feel where a building is bleeding money within the hour, and prove it on paper. That instinct is trained by repetition on real buildings. This packet is one repetition: one system observed, one reading taken, one finding recorded the way the standard asks.
