A NATIONWIDE survey into the optimum UK office working temperature has found that nearly two-thirds of workers are too hot during the summer, making them sleepy, lethargic and inefficient.
The survey conducted by YouGov on behalf of Daikin Airconditioning UK Ltd forms part of a campaign by the UK office of the Japanese air conditioning manufacturer to raise awareness of the business benefits of energy efficient and cost-effective air conditioning systems.

The survey, which sampled over 2,000 people across Britain, found that 62% of office workers are too hot at work during the summer months, with an alarming effect on efficiency: 63% of those surveyed stated that working in an environment that is the wrong temperature makes them sleepy and lethargic, whilst a staggering 59% feel less productive.
The survey also revealed that 28% of office workers suffer from increased stress when their working environment is the wrong temperature, and a quarter of those questioned become miserable.
