Hot and cold calls are all too familiar to our facilities managers. Today we share two articles from BUILDINGS magazine that give quick tips on increasing your occupants’ thermal comfort and decreasing your hot and cold calls.

Most of you are familiar with the occupant satisfaction survey for thermal comfort in the ASHRAE 55 standard. In the “Thermal Comfort Survey” article, BUILDINGS magazine provides a shortened version of the survey for your use.

BUILDINGS also provides the useful article “Fast Fixes for Thermal Comfort” on how to address thermal comfort starting with your building systems. By addressing and improving the systems’ performance, you will likely improve your tenants’ comfort as well.
