My co-op has radiators that do not have heat controls.
The heat can only be turned on or off by the maintenance staff. We were told we can either have it on or off. There is no middle.
The heat is unbearable in the winter so many shareholders have the heat turned off and have opted to use electric heaters, which I think presents a dangerous situation.
we have been told to leave the windows opened or the air conditioning on rather then have them shut the heat because they will not come back and forth to turn everyone's heat on and off, which I understand but their solution to the heat situation is unhealthy. Any suggestions on how we, the shareholders, can remedy the situation will be greatly appreciated.
Opening of and closing of heating valves , and opening windows to cool off due to excessive heat is nonsense , and who's telling you this is ignorant .
A thermostatic valve , with a sensor ,and a proper steam trap will do the job
Your Management must be paying big bucks for heating ....
10 to 20% of outside air is recommended too.

Doesn’t keeping the windows open waste heat and it’s cost effective?
What about installing a thermostatic radiator valve. This adjusts room temperature by using air to reduce or increase the amount of steam that warms your radiator.
