» "[Cornell] Study links warm offices to fewer typing errors and higher productivity..." they're just bitter because they're cold up there in NY!
“Study links warm offices to fewer typing errors and higher productivity”… I don’t believe it! Arctic temperatures make me crazy productive! and by arctic I mean 65-69 degrees!
According to the daily stat’s synopsis of this Cornell study:
JULY 15, 2010
Chilly Offices Limit Productivity
Raising the temperature of an insurance company’s offices from 68 degrees to 77 degrees Fahrenheit (20 to 25 C) reduced typing errors by 44% and boosted typing output by 150%, according to a monthlong study by Alan Hedge of Cornell. The higher, more comfortable temperature resulted in a savings for the employer of about $2 per worker per hour, Hedge says.
