18 Figure 7: Typical weekday schedules for existing and renovated buildings. Key Recommendations MIT does not currently support wireless temperature controls in buildings. Going forward, Facilities should establish wireless sensing and control protocols to meet the security needs of MIT and a central retrofit coordination group should ensure that controls are installed in all renovation and retrofitting projects with a plan for full campus implementation by 2040. This task would fall under the purview of the Retrofit Central team suggested in the Executive Summary. References de Chalendar, J. A., Keskar, A., Johnson, J. X., & Mathieu, J. L. (2023).
