Hi All - just need to vent (pun intended) What's up with architects refusing to put functional windows in large buildings??? We suffer for about a month each spring & fall when the seasons are changing and we cannot switch quickly from heat to cooling (and vice versa). It was 80 degrees at 8:00 am this morning on our 3rd floor; and once the lights, computers & people add their heat it goes up, up, up! Changing to cooling for us is a week long process, and we cannot even begin it if there's a chance of another freeze or we could lose pipes, etc. Every fall is the opposite problem - switch too soon and it's hot again. If we could open some windows things would level out. I worry about the health of both staff members and patrons. Argh! OK - end of rant - thanks for reading. Now to drink some ice water and maybe talk a walk outside to cool off! David L.
