Too damn hot!

Oh yes indeedy. Of course nowhere in the UK is this hot long enough for companies to justify the expense, especially retrofitting already built offices like these.

I must say old bean, that really sucks!

How about reverse cycle, cold in summer, warm in winter? Split systems are all the rave downunder at the moment, easy to install too.

trouble is aircons are part of the problem:

they use heat to move heat, so the heat bill for using one of these is the amount of heat moved, plus some for operational needs.

the thing is, humans being what they are, the hotter it gets, the more the aircon gets used. could easily end up being a vicious circle.

that being said, I did actually have to have the AC on in the motor on the way back to work. I played footy in a stuffy oxygen free indoor pitch. but then me internal thermometer was reading 37 degrees C !!

To be fair the temperatures up here have mainly been mid twenties, although it was 31C at the festival I was at on Saturday, but I'm loving every minute of this.

We Scots are used to cold, wet weather, all year round. This is a nice change.

I don't like it, but cold / wet is easier to cope with than overwhelmingly hot and humid...
