We piloted occupancy-based setpoints on two floors last month — 3°F night setback with door/window sensors — and cut kWh by 11%, but front desk logged five comfort complaints during a sold-out Saturday. Anyone dialed in a sweet spot (or sensor brand) that keeps savings without waking guests at 2 a.m?
, the 2 a.m. wakeups usually mean the occupancy timer expires while they’re sleeping; with that “3°F night setback” add a sleep window (11p–6a) with a 90–120 min unoccupied delay and cap setback to 2°F. We kept about 10% savings using Verdant + PIR after moving off door/window‑only and adding a 6‑hour overnight grace — complaints went to zero. Do you have PMS integration to auto-disable setbacks on sold‑out Saturdays?
In the Midwest, I’m seeing base $95k–135k for manager/owner scope and $130k–175k if it’s closer to director, 10–15% bonus, and an on‑call stipend for “STAT” coverage. With “18%” savings, I’d aim top‑quartile and push for a KPI‑tied bonus (cost/STAT run, on‑time SLAs) plus that stipend — reasonable when you’re the air‑traffic controller for coolers; what city and level?
