We have private offices, but central HVAC. Multi-zone cooling (independent of having lots of little, less efficient window/through-wall units) is relatively uncommon.
It's exacerbated (good word) by the fact that the large front office has mostly women sitting at low-power PCs, the offices are mostly men at powerful workstations (aka space heaters), and the HVAC ducts run though the office drop ceilings, meaning anyone doing physical projects in the central work space is the least cooled while our receptionist has been seen with a space heater.
- grogenaut 9y agodoesn't that mean you use less power though?
- cestith 9y agoCentral HVAC can be zoned somewhat with thermocouple-adjustable or computer-controlled baffles. If you have a consistent over-cooling of one area and under-cooling of another there are magnetic strips made to partially cover the registers, or registers with adjustable baffles built in.
