Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning (HVAC)

• There is no additional fee for HVAC; it is included and turned on during hours reserved. 
• Heat temperature set point per MCPS is 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Air Conditioning/Cooling temperature set point per MCPS is 76 degrees Fahrenheit. 
• Energy curtailment practices during summer months: In order to conserve energy and ensure the lowest possible energy rates, MCPS turns air-conditioning off between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. during summer break. All groups, including community user groups and MCPS-related groups, who choose to use MCPS indoor facilities during this time should prepare accordingly.
• No air conditioning available in gymnasiums. There are some rare exceptions; however, A/C is not guaranteed even if such is installed.
