I wouldn't be surprised if the new system has some features billed as saving tens of thousand dollars a year. That's entirely possible. My tiny little college made winter break 2 weeks longer and saved 200k a year.
- em-bee 8y agosaved on what? heating? in austria, decades ago they invented winter holidays to save on heating for a week. then they found out that it cost them more to reheat the building after that week, so now they just keep the empty buildings heated.
- tk75x 8y agoThere's a a point at which the off-time is long enough that the cost savings are more than the price to reheat the building. Making winter break two weeks longer is likely to cross that threshold.
- em-bee 8y agothat makes sense. damn! if only the policymakers had realized that, we could have had more vacation.
