[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never worked in an office building where the windows open. [/quote] I would hope that schools are safer than office buildings. These are children for crying out loud![/quote] I think the idea is that modern HVAC systems are not based on opened windows. [/quote] Many building-wide HVAC systems can’t operate properly or efficiently if windows are open. The airflow is designed to work as a closed system, and if you have outside air coming in at random times and places, it can’t balance the flow properly. Other rooms may lose airflow if windows are opened. Not saying that’s the case here, but if it’s a fairly modern HVAC system, that may be why windows were considered a lower priority: because the air exchange worked better with them closed anyway. But clearly it would be better to have them ABLE open in an emergency, at least. [/quote]
