The Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare Regulations)

Recommended - 19 to 23 degrees centigrade.
Minimum - 16 degrees centigrade.
Maximum - Currently there is no maximum workplace temperatures although employers should ensure temperatures in the workplace are reasonable.

Many modern office buildings will have open plan areas where many people all sharing the same working environment. We all know human beings are different and when working in such close surroundings may lead to conflict over the office temperature with some preferring the temperature at the lower setting and some more higher setting. Providing some local control over setting the temperature is important so ensuring plant is capable to automatic shutdown on high temperature to effectively control energy usage and eliminate over heating is a must.
