In summer, the office is air-conditioned. How many degrees should be set to make employees most efficient?
Remember last August, when Taiwan Province was facing a power cut crisis, Cai ordered all public departments to turn off the air conditioner for two hours during lunch break? As a result, all civil servants complained bitterly, and some even suffered from heatstroke.

Obviously, under the test of the power of hot summer, air conditioning is not only a necessary "survival tool" for office workers to fight all day, but also the most ideal temperature of air conditioning, which can best improve the work efficiency of employees. It is also a university problem worth discussing.

Because of gender differences, office colleagues have different acceptance of room temperature. Some people are naturally afraid of heat, and it is difficult to resist high temperature. Some people are weak and cold, so it is really not easy for the office temperature to satisfy everyone. In 20 15, a survey on working in the United States found that 42% people thought the office was too hot, but 56% people thought it was too cold. We often see that in the same office, some people wear coats to work, while others wear short T-shirts to cool down.

This difference in clothing is also reflected in the gender of office colleagues to a considerable extent. Boris Kingma of Maastricht University Medical Center found that because women's metabolic rate is much slower than that of men, the suitable office temperature will be 3 degrees Celsius higher than that of men. This difference in metabolic rate is largely due to the fact that women have fewer muscle cells and more fat cells, which have lower activity and produce less calories.

Office temperature will affect employees' performance and productivity. Employees have opinions on the temperature of office air conditioning, which is not only reflected in clothes, but also affects the company's work and business performance. Correct room temperature can improve the productivity and satisfaction of employees; But the wrong room temperature may reduce the work efficiency of employees, and may even make employees sick.

There is a follow-up investigation on the bookkeepers of insurance companies. The results show that when the room temperature in the office is 25 degrees Celsius, the working efficiency of all bookkeepers is extremely high, and the error rate is only 10%. But if the room temperature drops to 20 degrees, their efficiency will be directly reduced by half, and the error rate will exceed 20%. The office temperature seems to be too low, which seems to have a considerable impact on the daily work of employees.

There is also an experiment for students. They choose the most economical mobile phone bill scheme in rooms at 19 degrees Celsius and 25 degrees Celsius respectively. As a result, the correct rate of students in the room with 19 degrees Celsius is 1 times higher than that in the room with 25 degrees Celsius. This result is just the opposite of the previous survey, which shows that it is more difficult for people to judge complex problems in the face of hot environment.

Experts pointed out that room temperature has a vital impact on the work efficiency of office workers, and the hot environment is conducive to creative thinking; When you are engaged in repetitive and monotonous work, a cool environment can keep you alert and clear-headed. If the room temperature exceeds 27 degrees, the staff's mathematical calculation and logical deduction ability will decline. From these data, it is no wonder that the office of Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, is like the north and south poles, and the room temperature is always set at 15 degrees Celsius.

But the room temperature in Zubaik's office is obviously an extreme exception. In some countries, the room temperature is even lower than the legal minimum working temperature (for example, in Britain, it is 16 degrees Celsius), but most countries do not stipulate the upper limit of working temperature, only stipulate that the room temperature should be "reasonable".

Scholars believe that the best room temperature in the office is 22-24 degrees Celsius. A research report shows that the ideal room temperature in the workplace is 22 degrees Celsius, but the sample size of this study is less than 100 people, which is probably not worthy of reference by enterprises. However, this room temperature is considered as the best office temperature by the late former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore.

And Hipworth, a researcher at the Energy Research Institute of the University of London (David? Shipworth) believes that the best room temperature in the office is between 22 and 24 degrees Celsius. However, this temperature is obviously far from the cognition of * * * in Taiwan Province Province, because at present * * * stipulates that public institutions can only turn on the air conditioner when the temperature exceeds 28 degrees Celsius, and the air conditioner must be set at 28 degrees Celsius according to the regulations. It is conceivable that the performance of institutions in Taiwan Province Province may be very low in summer.
