c) the air temperature inside exceeds the limit set by the SIA 382/1 for more than 100 hours per year during the period of use of premises concerned.

Crappy google translate translation

Further research shows that the legislation that you're looking for to support your cup of coffee is:

SIA V382/1-3 from the Switzerland Society of Engineers and Architects

but that's where my Googling skills exceed my linguistic skills.

Still, it should be enough to win your bet.
I already said that!

Re: Is Air-Conditioning against the law?

Have to say that in our building if an Exec asks for aircon, the phone call is made and a man arrives to install it , end of .... lower ranks dont et the same treatment of course theyu just have to sweat it out ...no swiss rules and regs seem to apply .......and to be honest I dont see how it can be ok to heat the offices to a minimum of 26 degrees all through the winter and then not allow air con for the hot days in the summer...... I dread the air con wars in our office every year ! lol

Re: Is Air-Conditioning against the law?

Go and visit somewhere like Singapore or Malaysia, and you'll see why they don't want everyone sticking air conditioning units everywhere they can. First, it's hugely inefficient and places massive demand on the electricity grid, and second, it looks terrible and tacky.

I'd post some photos, but I only have one NZ->CH converter plug, and can't plug in my external hard drive as well as my laptop at the same time.

Re: Is Air-Conditioning against the law?

Thanks for the advice all.

I think we proved our point, however my colleague said he was talking about residential, and all of these links refer to commercial / research places, is anyone's french good enough to disprove that?
