It’s a common complaint in many commercial or office buildings: one office is too hot, while another one is too cold. Sometimes both can be happening at the same time, making a remedy for the situation seem impossible to find. The problem can often be attributed to the fact that thermostat which regulates the air temperature for all the offices or rooms is located in one area of the building with either more or less exposure to the sun, sending too much hot or cold air to other areas of the building.
Solutions For Uneven Temperatures
If you own or manage a building experiencing these types of fluctuations in heating or cooling, there are options which can fix the problem. Not only are these issues annoying for the workers in the building, it is also likely to be affecting monthly energy bills. Rooms or office which are too hot or too cold are wasting energy, in comparison to even temperatures throughout the building.
The solutions to these types of recurring issues generally revolve around the existing system you have in place. Many buildings use a constant volume system, which is meant to be cost-effective, but can cause these types of temperature fluctuations when not properly installed. In addition, frustrated tenants may have tried to make their own modifications to their vents to divert air flow when it is too hot or too cold, compromising the whole system.
To get your building back on an even heating or cooling schedule for all offices and areas of the building, call in your local commercial HVAC service company to inspect your system. It may be something simple and affordable to fix, making your tenants or employees happy while possibly even saving money on energy bills each month.
