Did you know an uncomfortably hot facility lowers employee morale and makes them less efficient? In fact, a study by the University of Chicago revealed indoor workers are 4% less productive per 1 degree Fahrenheit above 80 degrees. That means a worker might be 20% less productive in a plant with a temperature of 85 degrees. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends a temperature range between 68 and 76 degrees.
