Other guerilla tactics in the cooling system battles include taping cardboard over air vents, non-stop complaints to facilities managers, & tampering with locked control units, however but once the battle moves to the home front, it’s an genuinely weird matter.
I’ve always wondered why guys & ladies feel comfortable at weird room rapidly changing temperatures, however in other words, why is it that guys want the cooling system set cooler, while ladies reach for their cardigans? After googling the question, I found that there are multiple explanations. One is that ladies have a lower metabolic rate than women. Our metabolic rate is responsible for, among other things, body heat production. Also, guys generally have greater muscle mass than ladies, which is also responsible for body heat production. So who gets to control the control unit – at work & at home? At work, hands down, the cooling system settings are controlled by women. It turns out that engineers who design office space use building code standards that take the metabolic rates of guys into account. That’s not to say that female employees take the chilly rapidly changing temperatures resting down, so to speak. Hidden video cameras at multiple office sites have captured both male & female culprits changing the control unit settings – up to ten weird times a day. Other guerilla tactics in the cooling system battles include taping cardboard over air vents, non-stop complaints to facilities managers, & tampering with locked control units, however but once the battle moves to the home front, it’s an genuinely weird matter. Home is where ladies prevail when it comes to temperature settings, especially at night. But guys argue that when it comes to the bedroom, the lady should bundle up with more blankets so that she can sleep comfortably with the cooling system set at a cooler temperature. The bottom line is that for guys & ladies with real differences in temperature preferences, the control unit may always be a battlefield.
