Air Conditioning: a hot topic in your office?

Well, obviously, a temperature that is high enough or low enough that does not interfere with the worker's ability to do their job. Which then raises the issue of whether their job performance is the result of impossible working conditions. So all we can do is legislate a temperature range which most people feel is reasonable and excludes that small group who are not comfortable. However, this is against human rights and therefore everybody is entitled to work in their own environment set to a temperature within 0.1 C of their desires.

I think the mimimum legal temnperature for an office workplace is 16degrees Centigrade.
The ironic thing is that there is no maximum legal temperature only a set of reccommended guidelines (However the TUC is pushing for a maximum at the moment)
