Jackets Back On for the Client

How a Few Meeting Rooms Decide the Chiller Savings of a Summer Dress Code

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement meters fourteen summer weeks across five office buildings whose jacket-optional dress code raised the open-plan cooling setpoint from 23.0 to 25.5 °C, and finds metered chiller-plant savings of 3 to 8 per cent against 15 to 19 per cent modelled. Client meeting rooms, three per cent of floor area, held the shared supply-air reset in 71 per cent of occupied hours, with overrides clustering before external bookings; the one building whose meeting rooms ran on their own loop kept most of its modelled saving.
