Good, put on a jumper or two, we’re all in this together.
Makes sense, lead by example. I want to see politicians with woolly hats on this winter in the Dail. 😀
The odd time I’m in the office, the place is roasting, have to have a fan on til mid October and keep the windows open for most of the day, unbelievably warm. Every year they talk about sorting out the heating and every year its still hot the same.

My office is ridiculous for heat.
There is a wall of windows that get the sun all day, there’s no aircon, fans just blow hot air around.
In the winter the heating is on really fucking hign and the windows are open.
Crazy waste of money.
Good start, should follow the measures the Germans brought in, like no heating of communal hallways of public buildings, and banning shops from lighting up displays all night
My dad works in a HSE care facility, they are not allowed to adjust the temp controls on the radiators, so instead they open the windows to let the heat out. He said it’s been like that since years. I think he said it messes with the thermostats also, so the heat stays on because the rooms are too cold because the windows are open
Better than blasting it on all day. My own office and I assume others have to schedule want months they want to turn it on. So you can have no heating in January but on full blast in September when it still might be warm.
My kids were born in October 2018. Beautiful blue sky week. Warm during daylight hours. Every window open in the Coombe and every radiator roasting. That kind of senseless waste needs to stop. In Germany they’ve set a 19c limit in occupied rooms and places like corridors to be unheated. This is in public buildings and state buildings, railway waiting rooms etc. All the public saunas and steam rooms are shut. And they’ve enormous gas storage built up.
My building was built in 70’s. Single glazing, EFF all insulation. It’s a bit cold today but no big deal. No heating on as yet. Just drink more coffee
I remember temping in public offices, and heating still on in June. I also worked in a few that had no heating (or air con) at all, only portable heaters.
Are they going to apply this to schools, colleges etc
Heat in my building gets turned on around October Ró think, they’re not on rn anyway, the heat broke last winter for a few days, hot water bottle and cardigan and shawls were brought out, literally shivering drinking hot water to stay warm! We also have control over the radiator, it’s a small 3 person office and all women so have the same heat requirements most of the time!
I work in a government office, building built in the 90’s….heating comes on in the summer, doesnt come on in the winter until 16:00 when most people are getting ready to leave. Every window in the place leaks if there’s heavy rain. Place is a horrible waste of energy/money. Some private contractor comes in every 6 months or so to “fix it”, before determining the thermostat system installed isnt compatible with the boiler or something. Joke.
I’m civil service, the building couldn’t get to 19C if they set fire to it. It’s Baltic even with the heat pumping.
