Good. I think the best solution concerning the thermostat at this time is to simply turn the heat down if you're closing and then back up again when the building is being occupied. There is no reason to turn it completely off when no is there, we don't want things to freeze but we also don't want it heated like someone's there when no one is there. Since there are no regular hours at this time, a programmable thermostat is not a good solution until regular hours start up again.
