nixy Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 I would never complain about the weather, its is glorious here this week. BUT my office is a nightmare. I work in an attic office and its currently 32 degrees inside the room with noisy fans blowing etc. My head feels like this Can't wait for home time! Quote
Chesterfield Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 We have a portable air conditioner in one office, and Ive just arranged for the larger one to have air conditioning installed tomorrow, along with a watercooler which should be arriving shortly. Quote

If its making you ill, you are within your rights to go home. Its ok here at work today, a toasty 25C atm. Bit hot for me but I can cope. When I get home I will sit in the bedroom which as AC set to 18C Quote
nixy Posted July 1, 2009 Author Posted July 1, 2009 We have a portable A/C unit which sounds like a jumbo jet and kicks as much heat out the back as it does cold air out the front - we have it on but its still 32 in here. There is only legislation for a lower temp limit but not an upper unfortunately. Although like i say, I would rather have the lovely weather than not. Quote
mwalker56 Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Nixy, i completely agree, this is a nightmare. I'm in an office with no air conditioning, it's 30C and 70% rHO. I spent my lunch hour in the Z. Quote

PS. you're supposed to duct the hot air out of the building through a hole or window! Quote
Chesterfield Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 The back of the portable air con unit should have a pipe on it which is to blow the hot air out the back. If its just sat there blowing cold out the front and hot out the back without the hot air being dumped outside the building, it will actually be heating the room up! Turn it off! Quote
markie Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 I too have just spent my lunch hour driving around in the Zed to cool down!! Quote
Husky Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 i just had to go and work on a car outside and im in black trousers with black polo shirt couldnt turn the car on aswell due to the test i was doing, just had to sit in it, it must have been like 40 degrees in it. ever tried sitting in a car with all the windows up on a day like this with no AC? when i get home its no better, no AC for me BOOO!

nixy Posted July 1, 2009 Author Posted July 1, 2009 yes it has a pipe that goes through the wall but the heat just generated of the unit is enough at the back (its quite old.........) Thats the government for you, we have a croquet lawn and a tennis court, free parking, flexi time, tea and coffee but no air con.............. Quote

Turn it off! +1 - you need to duct the hot air away Also, you are correct as there is no upper limit, but if it is making you ill, you are allowed to go home Quote
Husky Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Can i work there?! the most i get is discount off a volvo sounds very upper class! Quote
martinmac Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 The aircon has it down to a very pleasant 18 degrees on the boat. I have an endless supply of cold drinks. I may have to go outside to get a bit of heat, have to get used to it ready for two weeks in Spain from next week Quote
nixy Posted July 1, 2009 Author Posted July 1, 2009 I could learn to dislike you martin........... A sunbed in the shade and an ice cold lager would be good about now! Quote
martinmac Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Thats where you have one up on me Nic, you can have a drink this evening Quote
srobrien Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Ahh its nice and warm here out in the garden with a cold drink listening to some tunes...might even cut the grass or wash the car.....hope you're all having a nice time at work. R Quote
srobrien Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Lol, never mind i'm only saying it as i have to go offshore tomorrow for 2 weeks, 1 of which will be nightshift, and the only time the sun will come out will be when i'm wearing a boiler suit R Quote
rtbiscuit Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Ahh its nice and warm here out in the garden with a cold drink listening to some tunes...might even cut the grass or wash the car.....hope you're all having a nice time at work.
