According to a recent survey conducted by the International Facility Management Association, temperatures that are too cold and too hot ranked as No. 1 and No. 2 on a list of top 10 office complaints.

The 2001 ASHRAE Handbook, Fundamentals, points out that for typical comfort conditions, 5 percent of occupants will be dissatisfied. Research reported in ASHRAE Transactions finds that complaints occur even with perfect temperature control. If individual occupant control is not justified, do not expect every occupant to be satisfied with the same conditions

Air quality test instruments must deliver accurate and verifiable performance, both to ensure precise and reliable air quality diagnosis, and to provide credible answers if results or procedures are challenged. The facilities reputation depends on the quality and performance of the test tools in use, as well as on the user's understanding of instrument specifications, technologies, applications and maintenance.

Fluke indoor air quality test tools can allow you to diagnose and correct facility comfort issues more efficiently allowing facilities managers to focus on other issues. See how the Fluke 975 AirMeter, Fluke 922 Airflow Meter/Micromanometer, and 971 Temperature Humidity Meter can help reduce the time you spend on hot/cold calls.
