It’s that time of year here in the Northeast where you need the heat in your car on the way to work in the morning, and the air conditioner on the way home, if it’s been sitting in the sun.
It’s also that time of year when the heating systems start kicking on in homes, schools and offices.
Ironically enough, that’s my cue to start wearing light summer clothing to work in a vain attempt to be comfortable in rooms that are so overheated that they are nearly unbearable.
By contrast, in the warmer months the air conditioning is set so low that many of my colleagues and I bring sweaters and jackets to school to keep from freezing during work hours.

It’s not easy to change this misguided approach to climate control in the public and workplace settings I frequent.
In my own domain, however, I definitely have more control over what goes on and how much money I spend.
