I’ve always wondered why guys plus ladies feel comfortable at weird room temperatures! In other words, why is it that guys want the air conditioning unit set cooler, while ladies reach for their cardigans? After googling the question, I found that there are numerous explanations.

One is that ladies have a lower metabolic rate than men.

Our metabolic rate is responsible for, among other things, body heat production. Also, guys generally have greater muscle mass than ladies, which is also responsible for body heat production. So who gets to control the control unit – at work plus at home? At work, hands down, the air conditioning unit settings are controlled by men. It turns out that engineers who design office space use building code standards that take the metabolic rates of guys into account. That’s not to say that female employees take the frigid temperatures laying down, so to speak; Hidden video cameras at numerous office sites have captured both male plus female culprits changing the control unit settings – up to ten weird times a afternoon. Other guerilla tactics in the air conditioning unit battles include taping cardboard over air vents, non-stop complaints to facilities directors, plus tampering with locked control units; But once the battle moves to the household front, it’s an entirely weird matter. Home is where ladies prevail when it comes to temperature settings, especially at evening. But guys argue that when it comes to the family room, the man should bundle up with more blankets so that he can sleep comfortably with the air conditioning unit set at a cooler temperature. The bottom line is that for guys plus ladies with real differences in temperature preferences, the control unit may always be a battlefield.

Our church building is really a converted manufacturing building with a flat roof; Originally, only the business’s offices were air conditioned… So when my associate and I purchased the building, one of the first things that needed to be done was install central air conditioning… A committee researched the possibilities by contacting local HVAC businesss… There was the conventional type of central air conditioning, in which an exterior component is connected to a forced air furnace.

The furnace would hold an evaporative heat exchanger plus fan, while the the outside unit would house the compressor, compressor fan plus a second heat exchanger; Comparatively, rooftop air conditioning units contain the entire system on the roof.

Aside from bypassing the furnace, rooftop air conditioning units limit the amount of work that the unit needs to do, lowering energy cost. Also, since a rooftop air conditioning unit is contained in one unit, any future concerns would be easy to address by an HVAC professional! Rooftop air conditioning units are popular with commercial buildings, as they are more efficient in cooling large spaces. Our sanctuary holds four hundred people, so this factor is pressing. Once the information had been gathered, my associate and I looked at the cost of installing either of the two systems. The traditional air conditioning occasion wasn’t as costly to install, however the long-term costs would add up to be more than the rooftop air conditioning unit. The main reason that rooftop air conditioning units are more expensive to install is that they have to be hauled up to the roof, requiring numerous certified HVAC professionals. The additional professionals would be needed for an entire afternoon in order to complete the initial set-up… My friend and I did end up going with occasion two, plus over the years my associate and I have enjoyed reliable, cooled air during our church services.

But men argue that when it comes to the bedroom, the woman should bundle up with more blankets so that he can sleep comfortably with the air conditioner set at a cooler temperature

I’ve always wondered why men and women feel comfortable at different room temperatures. In other words, why is it that men want the air conditioner set cooler, while women reach for their cardigans? After googling the question, I found that there are several explanations. One is that women have a lower metabolic rate than men. Our metabolic rate is responsible for, among other things, body heat production. Also, men generally have greater muscle mass than women, which is also responsible for body heat production. So who gets to control the thermostat – at work and at home? At work, hands down, the air conditioner settings are controlled by men. It turns out that engineers who design office space use building code standards that take the metabolic rates of men into account. That’s not to say that female employees take the frigid temperatures sitting down, so to speak. Hidden video cameras at several office sites have captured both male and female culprits changing the thermostat settings – up to ten different times a day. Other guerilla tactics in the air conditioner battles include taping cardboard over air vents, non-stop complaints to facilities managers, and tampering with locked thermostats. But once the battle moves to the home front, it’s an entirely different matter. Home is where women prevail when it comes to temperature settings, especially at night. But men argue that when it comes to the bedroom, the woman should bundle up with more blankets so that he can sleep comfortably with the air conditioner set at a cooler temperature. The bottom line is that for men and women with real differences in temperature preferences, the thermostat may always be a battlefield.
