This causes higher than ambient temperatures reading. Locations near artificial heat sources are also to be avoided, such as copy machines, computer consoles, refrigerator compressor coils or simply an office worker with a space heater in his workspace. It also is important for the flow of air around the thermostat to be unrestricted. Putting the unit behind a door, curtains or filing cabinet isolates it from the space served and renders it quite inaccurate. The final course of action is simply to adjust the setpoint higher in the summer and lower in the winter.
Ceiling fans help too.
They move the air in the summer and, after reversing the direction of rotation, force warm at the ceiling down to the occupied zone in the winter. Relaxing dress codes will help in the hottest weather so people can cope better. Energy conscious designers cringe at a facility with all electric heating. This is the most inefficient and costly way to warm a space. Use of natural gas or oil to fire a boiler on the premises to heat water or generate steam for space heating is a much more effective and thrifty method.
