Distracted roomies set off A/C with their cooking

Everybody knows that it’s a challenge to cohabitate with other humans.

Even with this expertise on your side, you will run into endless obstacles and frustration when you’re trying to establish a apartment with another being.

At least, this has been my experience as I’ve tried to responsibly settle into a positive living situation with my up-to-date roomies… For the most part, we get along great… Until the air quality becomes a problem. You see, my roommates are unquestionably fond of cooking. However, they’re also unquestionably absent-minded. They correctly leave the oven on when nothing is inside, forget about boiling pots of water on the stove top, or set up their steamer hours before they need to use it. All of these factors contribute to pumping extra heat into our indoor air. Given, none of these heat releasing activities would be significant enough to increase the entire apartment of air conditioned air. The problem is, our temperature control is situated just outside the kitchen. The temperature control is responsible for monitoring our indoor air quality and controlling the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C devices that we employ. Whenever the kitchen is warmer than the rest of the dwelling because of their absent minded cooking exploits, the bad temperature control detects the air temperature increase and tells the cooling system and boiler what to do. In the summer, this means our a/c is running more often than it needs to. In the winter, this means our boiler stops operating faster than we would like. The air temperature never reaches the programmed temperature control settings because of this artificial temperature boost from the kitchen. Even worse, we can never seem to get the smells of their abundant cooking out of our indoor air.
