Maybe it was mentioned earlier but another key factor in making it easy for 
people to use the CH is to have it at a livable temperature all the time. In 
the CoHo I used to live in, the thermostat was set way down in winter and way 
up in summer when there were no scheduled events. This discouraged casual use 
of the CH and for scheduled events, someone had to go in some good time before 
the event and adjust the thermostat because there was quite a lag in heating 
and cooling.

As for getting people to use the CH, yes, put the mail boxes up
there, and not right next to the elevator.
