I keep mine at 78....acclimate!!
crappola. ASHRAE indoor design temp is 75 degrees.
I used to work in an open spaced call center. When the old ladies showed up early in the morning, they would turn up the thermostat to 85 and sometimes 90. By the time I would arrive around 10 pm, it was a sauna but those old bitties never noticed. It was up to somebody else with the nerve to turn it down.
The thermostat battle in every office is between the young ladies and the menopausal ladies, and between the thin people and the fat people. Also, we didn’t need a study to tell us the best temperature for those who find 70 too cold is, well, a higher temperature. One of the signs of a government created supply bubble of academics is “studies” concluding what your grandmother could have told you.
I have worked in a lab kept at 65 for the electronics.... and in another that they couldn’t get below 94 because of all the gear they had in there. You adjust.
And this is from a so-called “science” website?
Not shocked as leftists now push utter bulls*it by hiding it behind supposed science and then daring you to dissent least you want to be seen as being “anti science”.
from my observations....ladies it would help, if you put on some clothes...
I was a facilities person for a credit union of 39 women and 2 men.I had to lock out all the thermostats..no one was ever happy.
One ding bat that sat next to the thermostats kept a space heater under her desk all year round,talk about messing with the temp.gesh.
Had to ask her numerous times to shut it off and she refused.Had to unplug it and remove it.Finally the CEO had to talk to her.
Clearly the thermostats are set to placate the pre-menopausal women in the office! (I say this as one grateful for cold rooms!)
There it is. Men and women are different. Apparently it’s ok to say that in an article that dumps on men.
I ran a small office, had 7 ladies working there. Always complaining about temperature...some were hot, some were cold. I went to Home Depot one weekend and bought 7 thermostat units. I mounted each on the wall right beside the ladies’ desks. All if the complaints stopped, everyone was thankful and all agreed I was the best boss they ever had. Now they could reach from their typing and adjust their own personal thermostat...which they did often. I never told them the thermostats were not hooked up to the system. (Problem solved...and 10 years and two bosses later, the thermostats are still “working”).
Obviously the author is unaware of menopausal women, who require a thermostat that jumps between 74 F and 20 F.
I had always assumed that the cooler temperatures in offices was for the benefit of the computers. The server room in the store where I work is always at a comfortable 65 degrees.
Perhaps summer dress codes which require men to dress up and allow women to be comfortable are the real ‘sexist’ items to consider here.
I used to work in the financial industry and it annoyed me to no end to be required by company policy to wear a coat, tie and long-sleeve shirt to work every day in July and August while my female co-workers were allowed to dress for the weather.
