Used to wear desert boots when in Akrotiri in the hot weather - inc the pratt CO. Did the same when working at a Sicilian base (same temp) and promptly got an earful. Logic from a pratt.
I'm told that these days the 'Energy Efficiency Manager (EEM)' doesn't use the calendar any more. They talk to the met men and get a forecast of temp trends for the next few days and decide accordingly. Too bad, though if you're office is in the north-facing side of a hangar. That doesn't count, apparently.
I have these amazing things attached to my radiators at home called fermostats (or something) - apparently you can have the radiator on in one room and off in another! Whatever will they think of next?! Far too advanced a concept for the EEM to grasp. 'Sides, the cost of installation versus the savings in heating fuel is far too complex mathematics for the poor soul (or is it something to do with different budgets)?
