When the outside temperature is in the 20's, the temperature inside some buildings can easily reach into the 30's. Although there is no legal minimum or maximum temperature in the work place in the UK, the HSE recommends a range between 13 and 30°C as being comfortable.

Most people find it uncomfortable to be in, or work in, an indoor environment much above 24°C. But the solution that increasingly being used is industrial wall mounted fans. When they are put in key positions to blow over crowded areas, or work stations, they can bring welcome relief to people who would otherwise be wilting in the heat. We find that they are very popular in shops, health clubs, gyms, and as we have recently discovered, in animal enclosures!

Wall mounted fans can be used in conjunction with open doors and windows to move air around the building and can, if cleverly placed, can induce air movement through the building, bringing cooler outside air in to replace the hot inside air.

Luckily the waiting area for seeing the crocodile feeding has a number of Cyclone oscillating wall fans gently moving the air around to help visitors keep cool for those few moments of waiting. Once in to see the crocodiles feeding it is not a great idea to throw things in the enclosure as the management take a firm line on such antics.
