Why It Matters
R&D reason and business value.
Stores often keep HVAC running strongly until closing even though thermal inertia can maintain comfort.
Module Behaviour
In the last 30-90 minutes, slightly increase setpoint, reduce fan speeds, disable non-critical FCUs, and avoid aggressive new cooling cycles unless required.
How To Test
Compare normal operation until closing against ramp-down mode.
Success Metrics
HVAC kWh in last two hours, FCU kWh, CH1 kWh, temperature drift, and comfort notes.
Next Action
Define FOX ramp-down schedule, probably 60-90 minutes before closing.
