I know someone who was working for the Army and in the winter they used to
open the windows to combat the overheating of their work space. But during
one year when there was a jump in energy prices the Army sealed the windows
shut to prevent this. Why they didn't just turn down the heat is an
unsolved mystery. So the employees found they could have comfort by turning
on the AC.
