Summer in Seattle…
I grew up in Vegas and air conditioning was a given, a staple even. Now that I live in Seattle, it’s not an issue. However, there are those weeks during the summer when the heat is overwhelming. It’s especially an issue on Metro’s bus line, which gets pretty crowded at certain times of the day. Even with the air conditioning running, and in some instances, windows open, the buses are hot. Which is why I think the below article highlights a modification that would be a much welcomed addition to the Seattle bus system:
…by adding a wide vent at the front and back of the bus, or by adding roof vents, the “comfort zone” of cool air is expanded from 11% of the vehicle to over 50%. The vents also reduce drag, so fuel is conserved.
