Encourage estates and facilities to implement a more sensible heating arrangement in lecture spaces.

In many lecture and lab spaces on campus the level of heating is completely inappropriate. Even with no one in the room at the beginning of the day it is unbearably hot. This affects our ability to work significantly. Some standout offenders are buildings 5, 16, 45 and 67. I dread to think of the amount of energy wasted heating these spaces to the level they are, especially after windows are often opened to try and compensate.

Hello!
Thanks for getting in touch - the best thing for you to do is to get in touch with Estates & Facilities through Planon (there is a Heating & Cooling option here: https://planon.soton.ac.uk/selfservice/Maint_A.php). They log the number of times which a specific space is mentioned, and use this to help prioritise work and refurbishment.
Hopefully that helps, and as always don't hesitate to drop me an email (vpeducation@susu.org) if you have any more questions!
All the best,
Samuel Dedman (VP Education, 2017/18)
