Abstract

As the weather warms up, offices are cranking up the air conditioning. But with such varying temperature preferences, where should you set the thermostat? It may be an impossible task to find an optimal temperature that suits everyone. So why do we have such different temperature preferences? And does it affect more than our level of comfort?
