Reporting issues with workplace temperatures


BCIT has a target indoor temperature range as dictated by ASHRAE Standard 55-1992 Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy, which is also the source for WorkSafeBC’s Comfort Guidelines, and is adjusted seasonally.

Winter: 20 - 24°C
Summer: 23 - 26°C

If the temperature in your working environment is outside of this range, it may be the cause of discomfort and impair your productivity.

Employees who have concerns about the indoor temperature should report the issues to BCIT Facilities Management at 8777 or online through the FM Works Facilities Work Request system (use Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher as other browsers such as Firefox are not supported).
