## A line-voltage single-setpoint thermostat cannot provide the scheduled setback and programmability that current energy-code editions require; in jurisdictions enforcing ASHRAE 90.1-2019 or later it fails the control requirement and a programmable or BAS-integrated thermostat is required instead. {note}
## Units integrated with the building automation system shall interface with the controls specified in [[syncs/building-automation-system]].
+## Units integrated with the building automation system shall interface with the controls specified in [[sync/building-automation-system]].
## Hydronic units shall be provided with a two-way or two-position control valve with an end switch that interlocks the fan to valve position, so the fan does not run when the coil is cold.
## A fan that runs while the control valve is closed blows unheated air into the space, which feels like a draft and wastes fan energy; the end-switch interlock prevents cold-blow by holding the fan off until the valve opens. {note}
## Modulating units served by a variable-speed plant shall be provided with a 0-10 V modulating valve actuator compatible with the BAS, as coordinated with [[syncs/hvac-variable-frequency-drives]] where applicable. {note}
