Climate Control Temperature/ Pricing Variance
I work at a facility in San Diego, Ca that offers climate control option. Since I have been there, the area has been kept around 70 degrees F. Our Pharma reps and other business clients have become used to the AC, and since we have discovered that most other facilities keep their CC areas MUCH warmer. What temperature do others keep their CC area at, and what is the variance of price increase for the unit? We currently offer $105 for a Elevator Access 10x5, and only charge $109 for EA CC 10x5. Also, when we raise the temp on all floors in CC, what do we tell our tenants that have been there long term that complain?
I have a few ideas, but I would like input from others out there

For instance, if you have a waiting list at $109/mo, or an unusual concentration of Pharma customers due to the cooler temps, then I believe your market is telling you that you may be able to charge more.
Perhaps your cooler internal temperatures should be treated like a premium service instead of an unnecessary expense? Your electric bill savings may also exceed any potential revenue increase, so it's worth thinking through thoroughly.

So recently we had a large increase in our energy bill. Looking into it, it was actually due to our provider extending "peak use hours" so our usage didn't go up, but our bill did. After that, I raised the CC temperature to 77 degrees (kicks on at 80) and we have been running a lower bill since. No customer complaints either (yet) so I am happy with that.
