Wrong doors

It's sad when you see ignorantly wasted energy. While walking through a public building, I noticed a gap of about 2/3 of an inch between the doors. Several years ago while trying to save money when building a partition the decision makers used sets of double doors as exterior doors which were actually designed to be used as interior doors. Not only do they have open space on all sides of the doors, they are made of all glass.

So not only do the doors allow massive amounts of cool and heated air to escape, the glass is not weatherproofed for all season energy efficiency.

When talking to a person feeling insignificant in the organization, it was learned that their energy bills ran excessively high and that an expert builder had told them that the doors currently used for exterior purposes were actually designed for indoor use several years ago.

Wow, wouldn't setting a savings baseline of just one year, be exciting, let alone a 3-year. But getting them to spend the money is the issue. You can tell someone how much they would save, but getting them out of the fear zone to make improvements is the challenge.
