In our downtown office space, the heating and cooling costs are included in the monthly rent.
This is honestly nice for us, because let me tell you, the office Heating and A/C is terrible! I simply cannot figure it out! No matter what I set the temperature control on, it never is comfortable in our office. I am either covered in sweat because the gas furnace is blowing, or I am freezing because the air conditioner is blowing, but even when I have the temperature control set to “plan off,” there is still some kind of air always blowing out of the air vents. The two of us got a young current intern in the office, and I have told him that if she can figure out the heating and cooling so that our office will be comfortable, she gets a bonus. I am not sure she believed me when I told him that, although I was totally serious. I don’t suppose if the temperature control is set to some weird settings or what, although I am tired of going from hot to frosty all day long. I am hoping that when Summer gets here, the outside temperature will not fluctuate so much, and then perhaps the Heating and A/C will not be so confused about whether it should be turning on the gas furnace or the air conditioner. What I honestly wish, though, is that our intern would figure it out for me. Supposedly, she is a whiz at all things technological, so it would be fantastic if she could put all that so-called knowledge to labor for our comfort.
