The system in the SUB hasn't worked properly in the past 10 years that I've been at Truman. Findling said the heating system is inefficient for several reasons, including broken motors and air handlers. The valve controls the temperature of the air blowing into the room. Now it has to be opened and closed manually.

It is unlikely the University will replace the entire heating system at once, Schneider said. Some students are bothered by the problem. Schneider explained that as buildings undergo major renovations, their climate control systems will be updated.
