Adjusting the Indoor Climate

Repair and Maintenance teams maintain the central building systems that control temperature. Sometimes relief from uncomfortable temperatures is as simple as adjusting radiators or local thermostats. At times, sudden weather changes or other events may cause temporary temperature shifts indoors. Please use the Building Services tab in SAPweb if the temperature changes suddenly, is erratic, or is a persistent problem.

Please note that many older building systems are set to either heat or cool – but can’t switch phases quickly. In the fall and spring, temperatures are erratic and building temperatures may not keep up with weather variations.
