  • Office Temperature; What Is The Ideal?

    I would say around 19 or 20C (66 - 68F).

    We have an air conditioning system at work which this morning got switched on and off around 20 times between rival groups of people. The temp was set at 21F (70F) and some were complaing it was too cold and that it was creating a draft ().

    So it gets turned off, temperature races upwards again until it's intolerable for those of us on computers, so one of us turns the air con back on again.

    Why can't they bring in a bloody jumper if a standard office temperature is too cold for them..but no, everyone has to suffer.

    So, tomorrow, I go in shorts.

    78F 25C Optimal for bathing, showering. Sleep is disturbed

    75F 24C People feel warm, lethargic and sleepy. Optimal for unclothed people.

    72F 22C Most comfortable year-round indoor temperature for sedentary people.

    70F 21C Optimum for performance of mental work.

    64F 18C Physically inactive people begin to shiver. Active people are comfortable.

        As cold as your coworkers will allow. 12C if you can get away with it.

          pussies

          Why do you need offices so cold? Can't take the heat? I guess that is why I prefer jobs where I don't work in offices.

          I prefer the heat. It's over 45 C today. I love it.

            Heat makes me drowsy.

            And it's the people who can't get used to cold that are pussies. People in your area complain when it hits freezing.

              I'm a sweater and can't take the heat in an office setting. Hell, I can't take it outside. It's one of the reasons I'm trying to get out of the south.

                no I like the cold too. I kind of miss the snow on the east coast. not that it snowed much in Virigina, every other year at most. But it was often very cold. The river even started freezing up after 1 week of near 0 temps.

                I loved it. It was funny watching everyone else complain about the cold. The only problem I have with the cold is heating bills I have to pay.

                heat makes me drowsy too if I'm not doing anything. But long as I stay active, it's no problem.

                  the perfect office temperature is one that equals the temperature in the server room.

                  server rooms should be kept at a nice, warm 66-72degF.

                    I like it cold. 15 or 16 C is perfectly fine.

                      23C is nice.

                        Cool enough so that if you have hot, raunchy sex with that hot co-worker, you're not sweating bullets after it, so you can get cleaned up easier before lunch break is over.

                            I like things much hotter when I am unclothed

                              I put it a t the temperature I like, and then make it so that no one else can change the temp.

                              ACK!
