Creating the optimal temperature in the office - shivering and sweating is a thing of the past

It's no secret that the right office temperature is a hot topic. Outdated research, based primarily on an office full of male employees, suggests that the ideal temperature is between 21 and 23 degrees Celsius. More recent studies have shed more light on the ideal workplace temperature. Whether you work from home or in an office, this information can be very helpful when considering how to set your thermostat.

SO, WHAT IS THE IDEAL TEMPERATURE FOR THE WORKPLACE?

Recent studies have shown that slightly warmer temperatures are now considered ideal for productivity. A Cornell study found that up to 25 degrees Celsius is now considered optimal.

There are a number of factors to consider when deciding on the right temperature for your office. The first is: Are there women in your office? Studies have shown that women are more productive in warmer office temperatures. You should also pay attention to how many windows there are in the office and how high the ceilings are. Large windows let in more sunlight and make the room warmer, while high ceilings can create drafts and make the room colder. To find the ideal temperature, it is important to know the building and the people in it well. Especially in summer, the temperature should not exceed 26° C.
