Office Temperature And Productivity

A number of studies on office temperature revealed that:

1. The ideal working temperature should be 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Cold temperatures increase feelings of sadness and loneliness.
3. 20 percent of employees have argued with coworkers about the office temperature being too hot or too cold, with the same number also secretly changing the temperature.
4. While 53 percent had low productivity with a cold office, 71 percent felt they were less productive with warm temperatures.
5. Overheating shoots up the cost of cooling by about ten times.
6. Not just the temperature, but the ventilation in the office contributes to the perception of comfort.
