What do I do after I create the request?
Now that you have created an Overtime HVAC request, Genea will send a confirmation email with the details of the request to the requester, and will automatically trigger turning on the mechanical equipment at the building at the specified time(s) to provide air conditioning and/or lighting in the specified area of the building.
