This story just keeps getting better the more you read it…
It starts off with a bad landlord not fixing the AC, naturally.
But the tenant complaining is the architecture firm that DESIGNED the heating and AC system.
“In a press release, Ankrom touted how exposed timber beams mixed with concrete, glass and steel to create a modern aesthetic. It added that inside its space, “large fans operate in tandem with operable windows to circulate air, and a custom software program suggests appropriate times for opening windows rather than solely relying on the HVAC system.””
And the guy running the architecture company? “Company President Dave Heater did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday.”
LOL. You can’t make this up!
Article states it’s not clear if Ankrom was a part of the hvac system design and selection.
The landlord’s reply to their notice is fucking stupid to boot. “We’re paying lots of money and trying hard, it’s not our fault no one can find a solution for our unbearable building conditions.” Get fucked. Spending lots of money doesn’t absolve you from responsibility. And even if Ankrom designed the system it’s not like they’re the ones making the final decision or setting the budget. They would come up with solutions within the parameters set by the owners/funders.
