With one of the hottest summers on record, your office is sure to have had its share of temperature issues. Employee preferences for office temperature differ but steps can be taken to enhance employee comfort.
With hot and cold calls constantly topping the list of employee complaints, IFMA conducted a survey of over 450 Facility Managers in 2009 to investigate the issue of office temperature. Different preferences resulted in employees using everything, from blankets and gloves to personal fans, for temperature control. During the summer one Facility Manager even reported seeing an employee bring a wading pool into the office under their desk, to cool their feet.
