I appreciate ice cream, ice cream sodas, ice cream sundaes, plus frosties; I like iced coffee, ice tea, ice lemonade, plus frozen daiquiris, but I don’t appreciate a frozen office! In our northern region, it seems that once winter season turns to summer, businesses turn their Heating plus A/C systems from a comfortable working temperature to a chilly one.
- I know that ours does! I study an article that stated that sixty percent of government employees had a complication with the temperature of their offices! Another study found that offices that are kept at 74 degrees lead to an error rate among employees of over 25 percent, then most office uneven temperatures are based on a building code set by heating, refrigerating plus air-conditioning engineers… Unluckyly, some of the building codes date back to a time when most office workers were comprised of men, whose usual dress was a corporation suit.
It was found that the ideal office temperature for productivity is between 70 plus 74 degrees! When control units are set cooler, productivity is reduced as employees hunt for another jacket or get up to make a cup of sizzling tea. And most office buildings are not functioning at full occupancy, yet their cooling systems are programmed as if they were, blasting more chilly air than is entirely needed. Many office heating plus cooling systems are designed for older types of electronics, such as laptops that used to supply off more heat! So if your office has switched over to things such as energy-efficient plus cooler LED lights, odds are that no one told your office cooling vents about it.
