With the arrival of summer, a familiar battle begins in offices around the world – the thermostat wars.
As the temperatures rise outside, many offices respond by cranking up the air conditioning. However, this leads to an ongoing debate among office workers about what constitutes the ideal office temperature.
If you find it difficult to concentrate in a freezing office, rest assured that it’s not just your imagination. In fact, it may be intentional. A study published in Nature revealed that many office buildings use a temperature formula from the 1960s based on the metabolic rates of men.
The office thermostat can significantly impact your ability to work, depending on your gender. A study conducted in Germany found that women performed better on tests in warmer offices, while men performed better in cooler offices. The study authors concluded that the thermostat battle isn’t just about comfort, but also about cognitive performance and productivity.
Regardless of personal preferences, one thing is certain – as long as freezing offices exist, people will continue to make jokes about wearing blankets and sweaters indoors during summer.
