The temperature sensor in the despatch area was moved, as it was directly below a roof tile cut-out that circulated hot air.

Temperature sensors were also moved in production, finished goods and components stores.

The downstairs temperature was adjusted, and the two high-load units were turned off.

Airflow ducts were adjusted upstairs and downstairs.
