What is your temperature?

TOO HOT OR TOO COLD?

How would you feel when you are so focused on doing your job then someone enters the room and change the room temperature?

Most employees change the buttons the minute they walk into a room. Whether your office has the climate of a rain forest or an icy tundra, an uncomfortable office temperature has a significant impact on productivity, cognitive performance and workplace comfort.

In a world driven by distraction especially at these times of pandemic, offices are concerned about the potential effects on their people's productivity and to their revenue. Temperature plays a big role in whether employees are comfortable, focused and productive, but it walks a fine line. For example, Mark Zuckerberg, who keeps his office temperature at a numbing 59 degress Fahrenheit. He believes in the focusing powers of a chilly office.

But what should the temperature be? The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) doesn't mandate the employers to maintain specific temperatures in the office, but it recommends that they keep it 68-76 F. According to Helsinki University of Technology's Laboratory for Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning, the ideal temperature in general is around 71.6 F. But individual preferences vary especially when you have complex buildings or office layouts to contend with.

In the end, the debate of high temperatures versus overall thermal comfort can come down to company policy. You may be better off enforcing one temperature and requiring your employees to stick to it. This sets an overall expectation around temperature, and your employees can adjust to meet their own comfort as a result.

To top it off, you can use the Statguard Plus thermostat cover. It has a combination lock that prevents tampering and so easy to install. This means office managers won't have to deal with temperature and productivity issues, and your business may be able to increase its energy efficiency.

Temperature debate no more!
