The HVAC system in our office had to be totally redone last month.
It was something that the building management had been putting off for a pretty long time, but I guess they finally decided that the indoor air quality was bad enough that they needed to do something about it.
I wish they had decided this years ago, because honestly, the heating and cooling system in that building has always been terrible from the moment that I started working there almost seven years ago. I guess the employees finally complained enough that they realized that they were going to have to do something about it or risk having a much higher turnover rate with employment than they actually wanted. Anyway, last month they closed down the whole floor of the office building so that the commercial HVAC company that they hired could come in and have free reign through the whole floor to get everything redone. They put in all new ductwork, air vents, and a new heating and cooling system. They even went above and beyond and they added zone control heating and cooling controls so that we could set the temperature in different conference rooms and offices at different levels. Not only that, but they also put in an air purification system. They certainly took their time doing it, but at least when they got around to it, they did it right! Now, the indoor air quality in the building is really amazing. It’s almost to the point where I’m actually happy to go into work in the mornings!
