Air Conditioning is one of the most debated services in every office.

Ensure the property you are proposing to move into has an efficient working Air Conditioning system (We can not emphasize this enough!)

Have the system inspected, and get a written report from an independent mechanical engineer. Five years of complaining to your property manager about freezing in winter and overheating in summer is a poor substitute for the cost of the report confirming your move is a good one.

Temperature perceptions are harder to solve. The metabolism differences between women and men are enough for them to adjust the Air Conditioning thermostat up and down like a yoyo throughout the course of the year.

Good design with a reputable contractor providing a number of zones that can accommodate the different areas in the office will get the best results.
