need a single CO<sub>2</sub> sensor, although it will make control system selection a little more interesting. Avoid in-slab radiant – night setback will be important. An energy recovery unit may work out as well (~5 year payback?), considering the high occupant
density, cold winters, and humid summers (Michigan makes you appreciate the blue sky).
