Isn’t this also a thing in offices?
Most places I’ve worked we managed all the thermostats through a BMS. The physical thermostats were locked out.
You can still adjust the temp, just less directly: find the thermostat sensor and aim a lamp at it. It’ll detect the room getting hot, and AC will kick on. Or, hang a bag of ice on it and it’ll detect the cold and cause the heat to kick in.
Fuck employers that force their workers to be chronically uncomfortable to save a buck.
If the facilities crew is worth a damn, that will only work for a few minutes. For instance cooling the thermostat may get the VAV to open and provide heat to an area, but if the temperature keeps decreasing over a defined period of time, the system should kick off an alert and someone will come check on why it’s not warming up. You are also liable to kick off alerts because of drastic temperature changes over short periods - you hang a bag of ice over sensor, and the temperature drops from 65° to 45°.
Building temperatures are a balancing act and nobody is ever happy.
You could attach a peltier module to a power bank. It has a hot and a cold side, you could adjust the heating just be flipping the plus and minus. Could even add a remote control to it with a small Raspberry or similar. :D
My old office had a thermostat that I could adjust, it was always freezing in there.
The trick was that after about 5 minutes the thermostat would just revert back to what it had been.
Just put one of those locking boxes around the thermostat like what businesses do.
Then there’s no placebo :(

Electric?
Yeah they recently invented electric and you can use it heat homes, it’s been getting very popular I hear
it works with electrons, which have been recently discovered.
Objects : Tridon MK2 and fermions
Dear Mr. Lurch
first, all i know abour “MK2” is from a 5 minutes search in Wikipedia. i tell you this to apologize for the lack of a better answer to a question that you asked in an other post 😋 . Hopefully, someone else will know more.
second, i like your writing and humor. So, please accept my parcel of well behaved electrons in the coming milli seconds 🥳
