[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I turn my AC to 80 when at work 12 hours a day. [/quote]

Good for you. I’m going to go out on a limb and say most others don’t do that. The AC is cranking along everywhere, whether at home or not at home, in a full office building or in a half-vacant one. The argument that an earlier poster (you?) made, that it’s better for the environment for everyone to go to the office to save on energy costs associated with air conditioning, is silly. [/quote]

NP and a little off topic but that's unfortunate if many people don't do this both from an expense and an environmental perspective, it's so wasteful and programmable thermostats are cheap and take just a few minutes to set up.

Also OT but my agency shuts down AC over the weekend.  My old law firm did too, you had to request it by floor.  I also hope this is a common practice, so wasteful to heat and cool buildings on the weekend.[/quote]

It might be wasteful, but I’m not sure. It’s really hot out and buildings not air conditioned over the weekend take a lot of time to recool. I’ve worked in some buildings that turned back air conditioning on the weekend and Monday’s were always miserable - and that was in a building still be cooled over the weekend but just less so.

Of course Zients does not g-a-s about the actual conditions of federal workers. He just wants them back in the offices for the “optics” and commerical real estate profits. [/quote]
