If the AC breaks, the hot, stuffy office will likely bring productivity down. You have two options: send your workers home, or find another way to keep them cool. Thankfully, with a little creativity and a lot of bagged ice, you can get even the largest spaces down to a more comfortable temperature.

How to Cool Down the Office With Bagged Ice

1. Use Fans to Blow Cold Air

If you set up fans around the office and place a bowl of ice in front of each one, you won’t even notice the AC is broken. Instead of merely providing a breeze, the fans will blow cold air around the entire office. Just make sure to replace the ice when it melts down.

2. Provide Ice Packs 

Pouring cubed or crushed ice into plastic baggies is all it takes to create handy cold packs that can be applied directly to the neck and wrists. Hand these out to your employees, and they’ll feel cooler in no time. 

3. Supply Iced Water & Special Treats 

When the AC breaks, productivity isn’t all that’s at risk—morale will likewise take a hit. If you supply your workers with plenty of iced water, though, and even some special treats like shave ice or smoothies, you can keep both productivity and morale high.
