Our office is at 75-78F - company saves money on energy. The women in the office, except those sitting right under vents, seems to feel ok, some still wearing sweaters/jackets (Palo Alto hills, July) while we, men, feel and look more like sleepy cooked lobsters. Some try to find nooks and crannies under vents, etc... With your back sweating into the chair your productivity is that of a cooked lobster too.

The merciless asymmetry is that feeling cold one can put on more clothes while feeling hot one is condemned to sweat.
