How the people at Weber Thompson stay cool in this heat….
Posted on July 29, 2009
Keep in mind, this picture was taken during lunch break.....
Courtesy Weber Thompson, thanks Dan Albert!
Weber Thompson is based in a naturally ventilated building (as am I!) So the staff there are thinking of novel ways to stay cool on this record breaking day of heat. If you're wondering just how "unbearable" it is to work in a naturally ventilated space (I say it's not so bad) read the comments on the post below. Stay cool!

I wonder if they used the collected water from their cistern to fill the pool or did they turn on the tap!

Hah! What a great idea. I love it when workers can become people and not just drones.
Of course, I have them beat. I work in a building from 1906 and have no A/C. I work for a *really green* company. (GreenWorksRealty.com)
