Some Pace University students can finally feel comfortable in their dorm rooms as the temperature outside goes down, and the one in their room does as well.
Since the beginning of the school year, some residents in Pace’s newer buildings, Alumni and Elm Halls, have had a problem with their heating (see earlier blog post “Pace Heating- A “Hot Topic” for more details). This has contributed to many feeling like their heat is being blasted in their rooms, and not being able to control or turn it down.
Luckily, a solution is finally being offered to these residents.
This weekend, all residents were notified with a small flyer posted on their doors that maintenance crews would be coming by to check the thermostats and temperatures anytime between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. from November 7th to November 11th.
When the maintenance crews arrived, two workers went into each room and asked residents what different problems they have had with their heating, and what temperature they would like their thermostat set to. The workers then inspected and fixed the heating systems attached to the ceiling of the rooms and set the thermostat to the preferred temperature.
While time will be the only factor to tell whether this worked or not, it is a step towards a solution in this widespread problem.
