Getting the right office temperature in summer

Due to the fact that is impossible to please all of the people

, all of the time, the HSE has devised some sensible guidelines that suggest that the thermal comfort levels should satisfy 80% of occupants' at anyone time to be deemed reasonable'.

These temperature and thermal comfort factors are of course all played out against a backdrop of global warming and increasing carbon emissions. A survey found that in the summer, increasing the recommended temperature in an office by 2C in a building of 100,000 sq ft, could save six tonnes of carbon emissions in a year.

There is no real right or wrong in these situations - it is a very touchy-feely area for employers and employees to get right. Very few office places of work can successfully manage without air conditioning but make sure the office manager has a good handle on how to operate the system and use it in conjunction with the other hints and tips to maximise efficiency, keep costs to a minimum and keep a smile on everyone's faces no matter what the temperature is outside.
