[Shop-talk] portable air conditiners

[Jim Stone]

Just FWIW, many years ago I had a very hot office that the building manager diagnosed as poor air flow.  The air was considerably cooler near the floor and he installed a passive ceiling fan in the ceiling air register.  It turned slowly when air was flowing and that kept the air circulating in the office.  It made a huge difference, although I did get a lot of good-natured crap from colleagues and once from the owner of the company, who told me I was the only one of his 6,000 employees who had a ceiling fan and wondered if I wanted a fireplace installed for the winter.

After a few months, I swiped a ladder, climbed up myself, and opened the damper that "wasn't there". Lots of cool air after that.

If I am running two computers and two monitors and have the door closed it gets close to 80 degrees. For someone who wears shorts in the winter here in southern WI, working in temps this high is difficult. I don't know if I can physically wait for these idiots to fix this issue.
