• It's too hot.

    What are people with home offices doing? I'm currently running two fans constantly, one to push cooler air into the office, and one to circulate the air within the office to try and get it cooler.

    Seriously considering a portable air con unit like one of these though: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Delonghi-PAC-EX100-Portable-Conditioner/dp/B09W32T9DF/

    Anyone got something like that? Bad things to say about it (i.e. too damn noisy)?

  • What are people with home offices doing?

    Mostly living in the middle floor of an Edwardian house that's been chopped up into flats. We are kept cool by the flats above/below when it's hot, and kept warm by the flats above/below when it's cold.

    My office has a South facing window, but a blind solves most of that problem. I have a cheapo 12" desk fan that blows into my face if I get too warm (or I've just come in from a run). Like most fans the settings are never ideal, even 1 is too much air most of the time. Today was the first time I'd turned it on because I was a bit warm (and hadn't just come in from a run).

    If it ever gets really warm then the 18" standing fan gets dragged out of the cupboard.

    Personally I'd want to avoid AC as much as possible for environmental/cost reasons, but then that's easy to say when I haven't reached the point where I'm melting.

    (Reminds me, still need to set up zigbee2mqtt to log the temps around the flat.)
