Comment Two separate ideas... (Score 1) 150
Though they were presented as one idea, really either of the two suggestions should help:
1) Pre-cool your office in the morning when energy is more available (and cheaper)
2) Tolerate a higher temperature in the afternoon
Note that even though they didn't emphasize it, they were proposing #2 as well when they said to turn up the thermostat up to 78 degrees (from 74). So, when the precooling runs out you let the temperature rise past where you'd really want it to be.
