Why bedrooms in Brentwood run hot when the hallway thermostat says otherwise
Sleep cooling is a measurable outcome, not a vague preference. The targets in Brentwood bedrooms: nighttime temperature swing under 4°F, noise floor under 30 dBA at the bed (ASHRAE NC 25–30 sleeping room target), supply airflow direction parallel to the bed long axis, indoor RH 45–55%, and return path that does not pinch when the door closes.
The recommendation should identify the room outcome, equipment outcome, and owner handoff details separately.
Mandeville and Kenter canyons act as heat pockets, running 8–10°F warmer than Brentwood flats on sunny afternoons; multi-system estates often need different thermostat schedules per wing
