What is a comfortable temperature for an office? Those coming and going from the outside find that the 66 - 68 degrees we keep it is ok. But when you are sitting here all day and not being active, it seems pretty chilly. I wear lots of layers and sweaters, etc. but when I leave for home I turn the heater on high and take a nice hot soaking bath to get my body temp back up. Heaters are not an option and if I put any more clothes on, I will not be able to move.

Well, if you look at my previous post... you'll know I'm not fond of cold, at ALL! I think 68 is too bloomin cold to sit in all day! Think about the hottest day of the year.... would bossie have the AC down on 68? Heck no... that's way too cold! I'm much better at the 73-74 range. And, it keeps my fingers warm  I wish I knew how to program that new thermostat! Jadegrniiz Peer Moderator |

67!! You are complaining about 67!! Sorry, I can't help with 67 degrees but I can give you advice for dressing for 14, which it is outside here.
1. Dress in layers - air is trapped between the layers of clothing which will keep you warmer.
2. Avoid cotton - cotton does not retain its heat retaining qualities when it gets wet.
3. Wear a hat - 90% of body heat escapes through your head so if you wear a hat it will keep your whole body temperature higher.
4. Long underwear - 'nuff said

I agree with those stating 70-74... I tend to keep my thermostat around 72. Both at home and at work I found that if you're up and moving around this isn't too warm, yet you don't notice it cool in the room if you're just sitting around typing, answering phones, etc. It also depends on where your windows are (in comparison to where your desk is), which direction the windows face, if you have outside access, etc. I've noticed at work I get the late morning to late afternoon sun, so the 72 tends to be warmer then and if I'm up and about, I can actually get too warm (for my comfort). At home, my living room only gets early morning light, then is in shade, so 72 is cooler feeling there. At my last office, 2 co-workers were in front of the window, while I was across the room from it, so they were warmer and complained about it being too hot while I was comfortable. If you have a door which allows cold air to draft in and out as folks come and go, then you might have to deal with drafts causing you to feel colder than the office air temp states it is.
