nding the right office temperature for your employees, or the commercial building you manage, can be a challenge. A 2018 Career Builder study found that 46 percent of American workers reported their office was too hot or cold. But they couldn’t agree on which direction the temperature was uncomfortable: 51 percent complained that an office that was too cold impacted their productivity, while 67 percent said an office that was too warm did the same.
