merryJim 1 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 What a bloody idiotic setting for an air conditioner. Sorry, I just needed to say that. Doesn't look they're going to budge on that either here in my office. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Buy yourself a little desk fan. Can make all the difference. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Yeah you have to laugh at that......they'd be as well saving all the bloody energy and keeping it off Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Yep it's ridiculous. Might has well open the windows and give everyone a paper fan thing to waft about. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Mine often starts off at around 20 until it has cooled down and then levels out around 23. 28?! Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 That's in work/office. The school I worked at last year had air con in every room, the ALT Room was "allowed" to put it down to 26 because we were gaijin Link to post Share on other sites
best skier in hakuba 5 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Keep the smelly gaij in one room as well. Serves it's purpose! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Office aircon, the chilled water is set at highest flow equating to 18C. You have to call the service people to turn it up to something like 23. Home is set to 25. Sometimes 26. Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 If I had one (which I do not, at home - but did used to at work, before I retired) I'd have it set at 21deg C, comfortable, all year round! No point stuffing about with the settings, just cause confusion and uses excessive electricity for no real effect! Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 21. Waste of energy. You should try 19 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8JlTIo--CQ Link to post Share on other sites
@tokyo 14 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 23 for me once the room is cool. 28 my arse! Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 23oC in my house17-20oC in my cars. 28oC is not cooling it is heating. It was that stupid idiot Koizumi that started that silly 28oC warm your room up biz. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 28C in a house with windows open and fans on is not unpleasant but it must be a nightmare in an office with closed windows and mechanical "cooling". I doubt I'd stay awake, especially after lunch. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Are we still 'short of electricity', btw? Can't say I have heard much about it this year yet. Certainly haven't heard the % usage data on the news and stuff like that. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I think the billion yen, siphoned off from the Tohoku rehab fund, has covered any shortfall.........god bless Abe and his nomics Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 There's still lots of signs around here explaining why some public lights aren't on, by bridges etc. Though I think they have just forgotten to remove them. Link to post Share on other sites
