A fact from Greenstone Building appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 14 October 2015 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that even on −50 °C (−58 °F) days when other offices in Yellowknife close, the Greenstone Building (pictured), opened ten years ago today, is warm enough for workers to stay at their desks?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2015/October. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Greenstone Building.

Heating

"in outdoor winter temperatures of −50 °C (−58 °F), cold enough that many businesses in Yellowknife send employees home"

Is it commonplace for companies to send staff home because their buildings can't be heated sufficiently? --Dweller (talk) 15:31, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, not where I live, but I don't live in a place where it gets that cold. It's probably well outside the range at which most modern commercial heating systems are designed for. Daniel Case (talk) 15:43, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
