Something that Laura pointed out the other day that I thought was funny. They announced that Ottawa is going to support "earth hour" hour where everyone is supposed to turn off their lights for 1 hour on the 29th. To highlight this they unveiled a 3 story tall banner on city hall. Laura looked at that and said "I wonder how many people's offices that blocks".
I just think that it's funny. Before the banner they could probably just turn off the lights in those rooms. Now with the banner saying "turn off your lights for 1 hour", those people will probably need to turn on their lights for the whole working day. Too funny.
I don't think it makes a difference, I'm not sure what your office is like, but we always have our lights on when we are in the office. And I think we have more than the average amount of windows. I was discussing a similar thing about the whole daylight savings time thing. The vast majority of people have the lights on when they are inside a room. Whether or not you have the lights on has very little to do with the amount of light from outside, and a lot more to do with what you are actually trying to do. If I am watching TV, or on the computer, I don't mind not having the lights on. But if I'm trying to read a book, no matter how much light is coming through the windows, I will most likely have some kind of lamp on.
ReplyDeleteHahaha... As I read this post and noticed there was 1 comment, I thought to myself "I bet it's that Kibbee guy, and he's going to say "those people would have their lights on anyway." :)
ReplyDeletehahaha... both are true. :-D
