Set points at Schools
Hello everyone, welcome to the first blog posting!
First question: set-points.
Larry Tilford from the Lebanon S.D. asked me the following, "...is [there] anything in ODOE guidelines, OARs, etc., that sets specific recommended set points for temperature in a classroom and/or office environment?"
To my knowledge, no. There is not anything in statute. HOWEVER, you can point to other schools' set-point policy.
Can some other folks with any personal experience around set-point policies please help?
I do not have any examples of success when it comes to changing classroom set point policy. Nor do I have any examples of individual school district's policy-language / board-resolutions around this topic. Maybe its not a "policy" issues?
Anyone have any helpful suggestions?
Take a minute and share your insights with Larry, me, and the Oregon K-12 school community.
Contribute your thoughts and help another school district save some money and the environment. :-)
