It's more difficult than that. The "air handler" is shut down so there's no forced-air movement in the building. This being a building from the 90s, it has no "operable" (openable) windows -- for which there is now interest from the "green building" movement. Worse, there are no openings to the outside from the second floor, so opening doors at ground level doesn't help. Without the HVAC running, upstairs just grows ever less bearable.
It just gets warmer and warmer and warmer...
I do have a small fan under the desk but this was beyond that. I rarely use the fan now ever since I got the HVAC guy to set the minimum temps for my office down to 68F or so, most are at 70 - 72, plus a bit higher airflow AND I don't have hydronic heating the way the outer offices do.
If Corporate weren't death on wireless connecting to our in-house networks I might have gone outside to the picnic table to work. It's a gorgeous day, and short shirt-sleeve weather.
Ah, sion...you have my deepest sympathy...
