My job is with an insurance agency in a particularly small town, however our offices are located in an old stone foundation building on Main Street.
Because of the age of the building, the people I was with and I deal with some weird challenges; While all of the windows are sizable, almost all of them are painted shut as well as yet they all leak air.
The water pipes make horrible banging and clanging noises each time someone flushes the toilet as well as the drains clog consistently. There aren’t quite enough power outlets as well as if someone runs the microwave in the breakroom at the same time as the copier, the people I was with and I trip the breaker. Our greatest concern is the old heating as well as cooling system. The device is not only ancient however has not been respectfully cared for over the years; No matter how the coworker and I adjust the temperature control, our workspace is chilly while I was in the Winter weather as well as boiling while I was in the summer. Although the heating as well as cooling plan makes an intense deal of noise, it doesn’t accomplish much besides spreading a lot of dust around. When it starts up, all the people in the office starts sneezing. All of us keep sweaters at our desks over the winter, then during the summer, the people I was with and I try to run a box fan however concerns with the electrical wiring make it difficult. Between the drafts from the old windows as well as inefficient heating as well as cooling system, I’m sure the utility bills are rather sizable. While a modern plan would be a sizable investment, it would pay for itself in a few months of lower utility bills. And a modern heating as well as cooling plan would give healthier indoor air quality as well as superior comfort. I have proposed making an update to the owner of the office building various times with no luck.
