[QUOTE="ORLY!?!, post: 863286, member: 16334"] Oh yea the heat is bad this time of year, espeically down here, but the real killer is the humidity. Heat really isnt a problem to deal with, just stay hydrated. On the other hand, humidity will take any chance to cool down away. The body cools down by feeling wind on the skin when sweat is present. The more moisture in the air denies the body to cool itself down no matter how much wind is present. Thus the bodies responce to this is to sweat and sweat more and more, with no effect. Thats health 101. I always hear those stories this time of year from the snow birds up north. It gets hot a few weeks out of the year, like 90-100, and people start dying. I feel bad, because A/C isnt really needed up there for that long, hence it would a waste. Its a tragic thing to hear about on the news, such as this. I've read most of this thread and I'm amazed with the debate. I suggested to the soups about 4 months ago they should quarry to get some porters and clean the fans around the building. First, UPS pays for energy year round, estimated total, years end. The fans are extremely filthy. One person got the bright idea to take a broom from a package car and start hitting a fan. The dust and grime that came off and blown down filled the entire line of a dust clound. About 300 feet of smog. I ran off into a car for a bit to let it pass, trust me, it was a site. Plus, that cant be good for anyone, subjected to that day in and out. The fans blow, your using energy. The dust build up could cut the efficiency ( of the fans ) way over 50%. Therefore, UPS is just wasting energy, like everything else, wasting. Secondly and last, they have people, porters, that should be able to supply this task. And they should do it atleast once every six months. Someone once told me that a soup stated to him that the fans really arnt for you, they're for the cars. [/QUOTE]
