If we demand that door close sooner we impact efficiency.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01532177146693099043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-80532838290863829632018-05-28T07:06:56.908-05:002018-05-28T07:06:56.908-05:00Also reminds me of the "employee thermostat&q...Also reminds me of the "employee thermostat" on the walls of some offices, that is not connected to the heating/cooling system.<br /><br />Lurker111<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-57646684612987367062018-05-27T17:32:30.419-05:002018-05-27T17:32:30.419-05:00I think this is called a "placebo button.&quo...I think this is called a "placebo button."
