Comfort zones can be difficult to manage

Personal comfort levels can drastically effect the productivity and temperament of a work force. Central air conditioning systems have been the source of discomfort for many workers throughout the country, essentially since the technology began to see widespread use. Sometimes, one person will feel cold in the cubicle next to a person who feels too warm. When one thermostat controls a large portion of a work space, there is almost always an unequal distribution of cool and warm air. This is because the air that enters the room from the air conditioning ducting is often delivered at a temperature lower than the temperature set on the thermostat. Central air conditioning systems are designed to do this to account for the possible heat gain within the room. Usually, the central AC system is designed to be able to keep the room comfortable when it is packed full of people. The downside of this is that when you start to add furniture, and people begin to move in and out of the room during the course of the work day, there is a constantly changing amount of heat gain. This is what causes one part of the room to be hot, when another part stays cold.

Recently, there has been some discussion of the concept that many AC settings in work places and other public places have a sexist bent. This goes to explain why so many women feel the need to take a sweater to work, even on the warmest day of the year. Work spaces should endeavor to create spaces which allow for localized control of temperature. Each individual worker should be able to control the temperature level of the work space in accordance with their comfort and what makes them most productive. AC-World can provide a business owner or building manager with technology to accomplish this goal. Their ductless air conditioning systems can provide both heating and cooling to a work space at a great price point to ensure that all individuals are able to work or live in comfort.
