Are your employees working hard enough? If they seem under the weather or just not focusing, it may be because of the air conditioner setting and air quality.
A comfortable work environment can considerably improve employee productivity. If the workplace is too hot, employees will feel sleepy, tired, sluggish, and irritable. If the workplace is too cold, employees will feel ill, numb, stiff, or lethargic due to reduced blood circulation. In both cases, it can make it harder for them to focus and concentrate on their work.
Maintaining a stable temperature can also make the office comfortable to work in, and your employees more productive all year round. The ideal temperature for maximum office productivity is 21℃, and anything below or above this can significantly decrease productivity.
While keeping an entire workforce satisfied is almost impossible, there are some things an employer can do to ensure the temperature is as comfortable as possible.

Avoid locating workstations directly in front of or below air conditioning outlets.
