Does this make any sense...??? I would think the thermostat should either be in the most 'normal' we have, or else in the common area (i.e. hallway) somewhere away from external doors.
P.S. - I STILL don't understand why the thermostats all have the "Cool - Off - Heat" setting, since in so many environments, you need heat in the morning most of the year, yet cooling in the afternoon. Staff is there to switch it over to "cool" when it's 76 degrees at lunchtime, despite being set at 71, but then it cools down to 71 degrees in the afternoon, then after everyone leaves and it is a cold night, the building cools to 62 degrees, and no heat comes on. We come in the morning and flip the thermostat back to "heat", but WHY can't the oh-so-sophisticated computerized thermostat be made to decide all by its little self whether we need 'heat' or 'cold'...??? I understand you wouldn't want your systems fighting by cycling heat for ten minutes, overshooting, triggering the air conditioning, then that overshoots after ten minutes, triggering heat, etc., but that seems simple to avoid with appropriate delay and logic circuits a kid could build from Radio Shack stuff...
