ADAMS HEATING/COOLING General Overview In Adams, hot water is pumped through convectors located near the window in your room for heat. Air-conditioning is provided in common areas such as dens, lounges, and kitchens. During heating season, our goal is to keep your room at a comfortable range from 65 – 75 °F. This range is centrally controlled even in rooms with thermostats. Having issues with the temperature of your room? Please submit a maintenance request at: mars.housing.wisc.edu.
Guidelines & Helpful Hints • Try small adjustments first to avoid overheating/cooling your room • Make sure furniture, bedding, or belongings aren’t pushed against convectors as this could block air flow • During heating season, open curtains and blinds during the day when you are home to allow the sun to warm your room naturally, and close them at night to decrease drafts; during cooling season, do the reverse • Keep doors and windows closed when the heat or air conditioning is on • Dress for the season: instead of turning up the heat, use blankets and sweaters
Heating Controls A thermostat that controls heat for your room is located on the wall and can be set from 65 – 75 °F, with the dial’s middle setting being 70° F (see photo). Turn the dial right (clockwise) to decrease heat and left (counterclockwise) to increase heat.
Cooling Controls Window unit air-conditioners are provided in resident rooms for medical needs only. Air conditioners have separate digital or turn knob controls for fan speed and cooler/warmer air. For more information: go.wisc.edu/housing-considerations
