The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com TUESDAY: WEDNESDAY: THURSDAY: FRIDAY: Campus Characters Explained Before You Were Here Photos of the Week The art of temperature Sometimes the Fishbowl feels like a sauna, and sometimes the Mason Hall classrooms feel like freezers. But if you've ever wondered who controls the thermostats around Angell Hall, you're not alone. The Angell Hall thermostats can be adjusted by almost anyone who is using the building's facilities, although it is not recommended to fiddle around with the thermostats, according to Jim Almashy, an energy engineer in the College of Lit- erature, Science and the Arts. "Thermostats in offices andclassrooms do not respond in the same way they do at home," Almashy wrote in an e-mail inter- view. "It may take an hour to change the temperature two degrees in a large class- room". He added that LSA controls the spe- cific temperatures at which its buildings should be kept. "Ideally, LSA wouldlike all thermostats to be set at 74 degrees in the summer and 68 degrees in the winter," Almashy wrote. "As the LSA EnergyfEngineer, I try to visit all classrooms, offices, and common areas twice a year makingthis adjustment." Almashy said this temperature range is consistent with practices at other uni- versities and complies with the Univer- sity's Planet Blue Program, which was launched in Fall 2008 and is designed to increase energy efficiency. "When that program is complete, LSA might consider mandatingthe above tem- perature settings," Almashy wrote. Though temperatures' generally stay within a certain range, Almashy added that common areas are usually kept cool- er than the rest ofthe building inthe win- ter and warmer in the summer. To regulate the change inbuildingtem- peratures, Almashy said part of his job is to "review classroom schedules, as well as office schedules, and turn off heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and exhaust systems when buildings are unoccupied." The reason students sometimes feel like the rooms in Angell Hall, especially the Fishbowl, are too warm is due to the unusual warm days in the middle of spring or fall, accordingto Almashy. "The Plant (Operations) cannot just turn large air conditioning systems on and off for a day," he wrote. "It typically takes a team of skilled trade Plant employ- ees weeks to fill the chilled water air con- ditioning systems and ready them for operation during the spring, and equally as longto drain them in the fall." Almashy said states' varied weather and temperature patterns make this espe- cially difficult. "Turning these systems on too soon in the spring or running them too long in the fall could result in catastrophic failures if temperatures drop below freezing for any length of time," he JDMOCH/Daiy wrote. "And that's a real possibility in Oneof many thermostats in Angell Hall The Michigan." thermostats are controlled by the LSA energy - DIYA WADHWA engineer. 420 Maynard St. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1327 www.michigandaily.com GARY GRACA A ELAINA BUGLI Editor in Chief Business Manager 734-647-3336 734-764-0558 raneo@michigandaity.com bugli@michigandaily.com CONTACT INFORMATION Newsroom Officethours:sun.-thurs. n a.m. - 2 a.m. 734-763-2459 News Tips news@michigandaily.com Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com Letters tothe Editor rothedaily@michigandaily.com Photography Department photoomichigandaily.com Arts Section artsomichigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@michigandaily.com Sports Section sports@niichigandaity.com Display Sales . display@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandaily.com EDITORIAL STAFF Courtney Ratkowiak ManagingEditor ratkowiak@michigandaily.com JacobSmiloVitZ ManagingNews Editor smioiegmichigandailycom SENIOR NEWS EDITORS: Jillian Berman,'TrevorCalero, Caitlin Schneider, Linedy Stnsenvens ASSISTANT NEWS EDITORS: Matt Aaronson, Benjamin S.
