What's a reasonable temperature for an office?

I even shut my door to horde the cool air on really warm days.

BASTARD!!

That's how cold it was outside my house this morning.

Brrrrrrrr!

resurrecitng old threads aare we? interesting concept. i must try

Temperature control in the cube farm is a beast. Combine that with floor to ceiling windows in a building constructed under low-bid contract. I never know what the weather inside the office will be.

Brrrrrrrr!

The outdoor thermometer said it was 24 degrees when I left to come to work this morning.

I think that's about what it was here this morning...and I'm in Boston!

apparently, the accounting dept here thinks the appropriate thermostat setting is one million degrees... I haven't looked to see if its F or C though.

Currently 70 degrees and 36% humidity at my desk.

Currently 70 degrees and 36% humidity at my desk.

in our old office we had 2 engineers who fought over the temps on a daily basis. During the summer I would have to put on my winter hat and the space heater.

He who sits next to the thermostat controls the world.

68 in winter, 72 in summer. Not too complicated. If women are cold (they usually are), they need to wear warmer clothes. I keep the house at 64 in the winter, any guesses how often I get complained at about that (it'd be 62 but I caved and moved it to 64).

The solution for offices is underfloor air distribution. Temps are pretty darn even across entire floors and you can be comfortable at cooler(winter)/warmer(summer) temps because there's actual air movement for people at their desks.

66 keeps me comfortable and alert, any warmer and it's nap time.

My office is never below 68 so consequently and lot of napping takes place.

i just wear my winter wardrobe year round at work. Its been averaging about 62-65 degrees at the office this winter.
