Bushfault!
When I was in college and the thermostats were turned down at Jimmy Carter's request, our department secretaries used to fill their coffee cups with ice and set them on top of the thermostats. It kept the heat running more so that normal people could work. Creative people can usually find ways around laws.
If the girls went topless there would be no need for heat at all.
Yep. Take a paper towel, soak it in cold water, drape it over the thermostat. Works like a charm. We used that in high school in the early '80s, but that wasn't an energy-crisis thing...that was a 1950s high school building that leaked cold air like a sieve!

Kids today need to toughen up a bit. Do we did back in my day - keep a halfpint of blackberry brandy in your pocket.
I remember walking 5 miles in the snow barefooted just to get to school.

And yet cutting something on the administrative side isn't discussed.
Tip - administrators handle the budget.
LOL
Wow, they are bitching about the thermostat at 68 ... Thats where it is in my home and business both, unless I'm in a good mood and kick it up to 70.
68 is very liveable. Makes me wonder how high they had it set before!
Honey? Is that you? I didn't think that you Freeped!
Up hill both ways.
Me too, and it was uphill both ways!
68 is about 15 degrees too cold for me. (But then, my body temperature hovers around 100 all the time. I'm a big lizard.)
We compromise at home. We leave it to about 58/9 unless my daughter is home. Her bedroom is much colder, so we turn it up a little so that she won't freeze to death. I've begun layering to keep warm. Hubby thinks money spent on heat is wasted. We are looking at a 5000 sq ft house that needs a heating system and just the thought of heating it is giving him nightmares. But I definitely want it warmer at work.
68? I keep my home's thermostat at 66.
"So far, students are lukewarm to the school's strategy. The classroom temperature is 68 degrees. "
Good. This ensures that they won't be coming into my house anytime soon.
68 degrees is tropical, for God sake.
What a Hottie!! :)
The turn the heat back up.
Conserving energy is retarded. See California. Make what you need, use what you need, keep people employed and keep that money moving!
