I have learned to live with it by adjusting my own temperature and not the room temperature. When I'm alone in the office I can keep the temperature at a pleasant level, but otherwise it goes up and down and up and down. My way to cope with it was to have my own personal fan blowing right into my face while I'm sitting in a T-shirt when it's too warm, and just put on a wool sweater when it's too cold. I found a fan to be the best solution since it doesn't cool down the room for those who like to keep it scorching. The heat is more of a problem than the cold, but fortunately I have the coldest seat in the room, right next to the window and the A/C (for the summer).

Not too many 7-14 year olds smoking in the bathrooms, and the staff smoke outside; but if you say so......
And uh, yeah--it is a problem having to walk through a half inch to an inch of water at a school when you have to use the bathroom.
As you may have seen from many of the previous posts, keeping windows open constantly in the winter happens just because that's what happens; not only due to smoking.

Yeah these people are weirf when it comes to the temperatures. A korean told me about taking a cruise along the coast of Malaysia. She said the ship's air con was too cold and she and her husband had to get off and take a plane to go the rest of the way. It couldn't have been too cold because all the malays and westerners were comfortable. I guess Malays use air con in the office buildings and are use to it just like us. So, it's a strange Korean thing with love of heat.

My apartment used heating oil. The only room I ever heated was my bedroom and only to 18 C degrees. I still spent a lot on heating oil.
