What's the point of heat?

[manlymatt83]

Sorry, I don't understand the point of heat at the office. Seriously, yes its cold outside, but people raise the temperature SO high in the office, that I get hot when I come in, and I have to open a window and let the cool air balance out the hot - isn't that going against the point of heat?

Same goes for air conditioning. People turn it on so high! Why not keep the office at a constant temperature year round and go from there?

Chances are, it's a woman that's turning up the heat. They're ALWAYS the ones that are cold. You might want to change your thread title to: "What's the point of women?"

You yanks are whacked

Our office is 24'C all year round.

Why would you want it to change?

EDIT: Personally I'd prefer about 22'C, but 24'C with some air movement is very close to just right

Heat negates cold.

for the first like 8 months that we operated in this building, we didn't realize that the noc had its own thermostat and we just assumed it ran off the same heat (or lack thereof) as the server rooms.

it was 60-65 degrees constantly and freezing

I'm going to quote myself from another rant that was just posted:

The HVAC systems I've been around in most offices are HORRIBLY implemented. There's like 1 thermostat and it's in the worst possible place. Double this with even worse heating/cooling distribution and it's a distaster.

One office is rivaling the surface temperature of the sun. Two doors down it's approaching absolute zero.

Some broom closet in the far off wing where nobody goes is a comfortable 70 degrees F.

It's impossible to make everyone happy.

Why not adjust the heat at your office? Then if they continue to adjust the heat, make out a complaint to the staff. I think with that, someone's bound to take some action.

Shouldn't be the "same" year round as that isn't as energy efficient. That said, in the winter, inside heat in the low 60s is warm enough for everyone.
In the summer, inside AC in the low 70s should be cool enough so that nobody is sweating uncomfortably.

Anything warmer than like 71 or 72 is unreasonable for an office environment where people are expected to wear long pants rather than shorts and a shirt with a collar and a tie rather than just a t-shirt.

That said, the heat is too high in here, it's probably like 72 or 73 in here, so I have to use a fan to keep cool. I have 2 fans, just in case ...

I prefer it to be about 50F or so, so that is what I keep my area of the office. If I have to open the window when its 10 below outside, then everyone else will just have to suffer.

 

[nakedfrog]

You're right, it should be the same 12F inside that it is outside.

 

[gamepad]

What's the point of heat when i's 85F outside? This really pisses me off.

 

[JulesMaximus]

To keep you uncomfortable.

 

[Journer]

if people in an office want heat they should run some dryer vents from their CPU exhaust fans to their seat...saves money/energy, lol

 

[MyThirdEye]

I still don't know why I decided to read another one of your shitty posts.

 

[alkemyst]

They are trying to get you to quit.
