The office aircon wars: What's the best working temperature?

You probably hear it all the time, the mixed opinions of whether the office is too cold or too hot. So just a heads up, you’re not alone - four in every five office workers complain about their office temperature.

In fact on average, employees spend an average of 7.4 minutes per day trying to adjust their temperature in order to create a comfortable working environment, of which women spend about 8.5 minutes while men spend a not-too-distant 6.4 minutes per day.

Andrews Sykes sought to discover more about office temperature wars by surveying 2,000 employees in the UK, and found that, summer or winter, women are more affected by temperature levels thus the longer average time to settle in at work.
