some people feel hot and some people feel cold
Don't tell me - Men hot and women cold? There a bint across from me with a blow heater on her feet. We have a chap here who always has his fan heater on and door shut, even when the rest of us are drinking a pint an hour just to replace lost sweat!
There are no obvious reasons why he does it, but then he is one of those who is close to genius in his field but quite worrying when it comes to life skills...

Generally women prefer it to be warmer than men - but that is a generalisation.

Why?
Is there an actual reason, or has your boss just said "No, you will roast, you are not allowed a fan" because he/she is a prick?
From what i can tell its because its not been tested on to be complient which i have offered to get done and pay for. the company are unwilling to buy such a thing for the use of staff - extra costs are incurred.

the attitude seems to be everyone else is fine so therefore it doesnt matter.

yeah but where i'm sat in an open plan office we hardly get any breeze/circulation.
even sitting next to the windows request has been declined.
How big an office and how many people?even sitting next to the windows request has been declined.
Legally you have to have at least 8 litres of fresh air per second for each person in the room.
Opening windows must be at least 1/20 of floor area.

There's about 150+ people working here at any time. very big office - its a big call open plan call centre.
floor space wise your talkin 50m x 200m maybe.
there's lots of windows but alot of them are shut
There's no aircon pumpin air in. thats switched off.
I think your measurements are a bit out. 50m x 200m is 107,642 sq ft, call centre density might be 50 sq ft per head,that would give you 2,000 odd heads!!floor space wise your talkin 50m x 200m maybe.

The reality is that in an open plan office area you are never going to please all the people all the time. If others feel the same as you then raise the issue with your staff representative or line manager, it is after all not in your employer's interest to make the workplace uncomfortable.

You can always get hotter, but beyond getting naked, you can't get colder.
Ergo, person who feels hottest should get priority on room temp, then colder people wear more clothes.
Assuming the hottest person is wearing the minimum allowable.
Usually women who are 'cold' when wearing a jumper in September, while you wear a t-shirt and are too hot

The problem in our office is that the women who complain about it being too cold are normally wearing strappy tops. And you feel a bit of a perv for mentioning that, if they covered up a bit, they wouldn't feel as cold.Roll on shariah law
