You can also permanently OPT-OUT of Price Conservation Events, by setting your thermostat’s
Conservation to Maximum Comfort (described in more detail in next section).
Note that it is possible to have an Energy Event (DRE/DRLC event) while there is a Price Event
happening (e.g. your thermostat can be under a Price Conservation Event when an Energy Event is
being sent by your utility).
Energy events and price events are different and separate events; utilities may send either, neither,
or both kinds of events to the thermostat.
You may also participate in (opt-into) or ignore (opt-out of) energy events (if not mandatory) and
price conservation events independently – meaning that you can set up your thermostat to save
energy and money by acting on either event type, or both, or neither.
A temporary temperature hold can be set to opt out of both price conservation and energy (DRLC)
events, even when both events are on concurrently.
