It makes my throat sore for days and my coworkers set the AC at 16ºC (60 F) working continuously when it's 21ºC (70 F) outside and raining just because it's Summer.
16?! That's simply too cool for an office. Gross. My condolences.
In their mind, if there's a setting for 16ºC then it's supposed to be used.
Ah yes, the workplace version of "it's not cheating if they put it in the game!"
That's idiotic.
So, that might be due to your company cheaping out by not having the filters cleaned. Had that problem and as soon as the filters were cleaned, the problem stopped. But yeah, if it's 21 outside, that's a bit mad to keep at 16.
If it's 21 C / 70 F outside, just leave all A/C and heating off. You don't need them.
maybe just maybe, the AC also shouldn't be on 24/7 at max powrr, that might skew the need of filter changes to way more faster than the recommended one in the manual because who in their right mind would expect someone to max the AC all the time
In our office building the A/C is on 24/7 at the lowest setting only in the server rooms. The rest of the offices depend on people's preferences. I think they change filters once every two years which isn't frequent enough.
