The document discusses installing air conditioning in dorm halls at Lakeland College. It argues that while AC would provide student benefits like better sleep and reduced stress, the upfront installation costs and continued running costs of over $40,000 per summer for the campus make it a non-feasible option given the age of the buildings. However, the document suggests a potential agreement where students either help pay for AC units or bring their own, and pay a portion of the operating fees, to make AC an optional amenity.

23. How Much Does It Cost To
Run Window A/C?

24. How Much Does It Cost To
Run Window A/C?
Per Summer, it costs:
Approx. 10¢ Per Hour to run
10¢ X 24 Hours = $2.40
$2.40 X 30 Days (1 Month) = $72.00 a month.
$72 X 3 Months (On-Campus) = $216/Summer
$216 X 65 Rooms (MM, GR) = $14,040/Hall/Summer
$14,040 X 3 (MM, GR, KR) = $42,120/Summer/Campus.
