Warm Offices Boost Productivity

bluelip writes "It looks like the real reason for offshoring is corporations looking for warmer weather. Instead of paying the energy bills to crank up the heat in the office to a more productive temperature, the offices are moving to warmer areas. This article shows a 44% error reduction and 150% increase in productivity for those working in warmer offices. Will this increase in output be enough to convince my boss to pay for us to vacation-commute from a tropical island?"

    I work much better at cooler temperatures and sit and do nothing when it gets warmer.

    Put down the bag of doritos and start drinking a glass of water instead of a 72 oz. big gulp. Once you lose a few pounds you'll understand that 75F+ is a healthy temperature for healthy people.
