How Office Thermostat Wars Relate to Learning Preferences

Disagreed with a co-worker over the room temperature lately? If yes, did you decide to put on (or remove) an extra layer of clothing and grin and bear it? Or did you engage in a contest of wills for ultimate thermostatic control?

If you’ve dealt with ambient temperature disagreements—either passively or assertively (or aggressively), you’re not alone. Consider these findings from a recent survey on improving employee morale and productivity through smart climate control:

50% are dissatisfied at least several times a month with the temperature of their office. 42% say their offices are too warm during the summer, and 56% say the offices are too cold in the winter. The majority (60%) say having more control over their office’s temperature would increase their productivity. The median preferred office temperature for women is 72°F vs. 70°F for men.
