- TL;DR Summary
- Large office, no AC, uncomfortably hot do we open all the windows or not?
Rectangular office accommodates 10 people, two doors and one wall has windows the full length of the room.
My office is within, no windows and no direct sunlight there.
The temperature went from 20C at 8am to 25C by 3pm.
Similar temp in the main office.
All windows were open so my thinking is the office is heating via convection.
So no air, hot, sticky/humid and opening the windows just makes it worse, my idea, the other occupants disagree.
No direct sunlight so not much greenhouse effect. Temp here is now 19C predicting to rise to 26C by 4pm
Windows already open.... (8.30am)
I would suggest they are shut before midday 23C, predicted by thenEDIT. Humidity 90% wind is 1mph.

Just to add some context.
I know posters have been citing 100F plus temperatures so my discomfort at mid 70sF seems trivial.
I appreciate how uncomfortable that must be.
However, The UK has a temperate climate, hot but not too hot in the summer cold but not too cold in the winter with rain throughout the year.
Nothing too drastic so we wilt in hot weather. (23C plus)
If it snows and sticks this is quite a thing, we are not great in the snow either.
