Be Responsive to Occupant Needs

Mouse over the picture above to see messages which are referenced in more detail below.

Remember...“Fans, heaters, air cleaners, purposely blocked vents or removed ceiling tiles are signs of occupant distress.”
Sometimes occupants take matters into their own hands. In the picture, this lady’s office is cold and she has brought in a space heater. If too warm, occupants may bring in their own fans, or if the air is stuffy, or they are concerned about the air quality, you may find air cleaners in the space. Some occupants may tape over supply registers to prevent drafts, or remove ceiling tiles to induce more air flow.
All of these are signals that something is wrong and needs to be addressed.
