Pohang has been exceptionally hot this summer. The heat in Pohang lasted for several days with temperature over 35℃. At the same time, POSTECH campaigned for energy conservation. It mandated that departments maintain over 26℃indoor air temperature and over 75% indoor humidity. In POVIS, many Postechians constantly requested for more air-conditioning around the campus including the dormitory, freedom cafeteria, student union building, and the laboratory in a continuous heat wave. In case of lab, even though researchers have made suggestions, nothing changed. As a world-class research university, POSTECH needs to promote pleasant research facilities and enviro- nments.
