While visiting classrooms in the campus’ main building, you begin to notice the classrooms seem to be getting warmer and warmer. At noon the facilities manager notifies you that the central air conditioning units in the building are down. As you continue to walk through classrooms, you observe students sweating and trying to cool down waving their papers as fans.
