I love my roommates and I want to make that perfectly clear.
Since we moved in together everything has been going good and I am much happier than ever before.
The only thing that has been somewhat complicated has been our housing set up. Because my roommates are dating each other, they reside on one side of the apartment and I am on the other. This gives us all a lot of privacy and independence which is great. Unfortunately, it causes some problems with our temperature control. The temperature control is located on one end of the condo and it seems like all of our Heating, Ventilation plus A/C device is similarly imbalanced. My family room does not receive the same amount of fresh indoor air from the central heating and cooling system as their side of the house. Normally, I can make do by supplementing with resting fans for added circulation. The biggest concern is when the outside temperature dips at night, and roomies turn off the A/C unit with the nearby temperature control. Meanwhile I am still expecting our central cooling system to operate. All night, my room will be stagnant and muggy. I shall wake up boiling and have no idea why the air temperature feels so awful. In the morning they constantly cheerfully told me that they were able to turn off the central cooling system and save us some energy. I am glad that we’re being energy-conscious in our household, but I need to know when I can rely on the central cooling system versus opening my windows. Maybe this air quality debacle is less of a concern with them and a larger issue with my ability to put two and two together.
