And while the managers offices do have heat and air conditioning -- a two-tiered approach fitting in a building named for Bush Nice little dig there, but it's much more representative of Communist systems, where Party insiders get extra perks that are officially forbidden to the rank and file.

Just like those horrendous low flushing toilets. Unlike the old style commodes, you actually wind up wasting more water having to flush multiple times.
...Tree Huggers are stupid. Period.

Not to defend the envirowackos, but doesn’t every office building have these problems? i.e. I think it’s very hot in our large office building, but the girl next to me thinks it’s always cold. The office building is all windows; once the sun gets low enough it is blinding. Our cafeteria is on the bottom floor which requires a walk of about 300 ft, a 3 minute elevator ride and a walk of another 500 ft. Seems pretty normal to me.

The builing looks hideous, so it’s no surprise to find that the accomodations are little better than those of a stone age cave. Like 98% of liberal ideas, it’s a complete failure.

Few seem to care whether green buildings can be a nightmare for those having to work inside high-rise structures lacking heat or air conditioning. Gawd, is this stupid. And wasteful.
Is building miserable, non-functioning, inefficient buildings really green?
I guess if green = anti-human, the answer is a resounding yes.

Quick search no, archive search yes. I guess the former only goes back a month or two so it is better suited to recent news.

Once the workers out of desperation start bringing in little cheap fans and heaters and (assuming there are plugs) plugging them in all over the place, the energy used by that place will be a hundred times more than if they just efficiently climate-controlled the entire building.

And while the managers offices do have heat and air conditioning -- a two-tiered approach fitting in a building named for Bush And what's further stupid about this anti-Bush dig is that . . . did Bush design the building? Did Bush mandate buildings with no a/c or heat? Did Bush name the building?
What a complete hornswoggle.

Is this the same federal building that after construction was complete they discovered was in massive violation of the americans with disabilities act and other federal laws because the stairs entering the building did not have handrails, nor were there any wheelchair ramps?

Not to liberals where intentions count as much, if not more than, results.
