    It’s 26.7c @ 62% humidity in my office right now. It’s fine (the aircon will kick on monetarily to bring the humidity back down). However, had you asked me this years ago, I would have thought you were insane. I lived in a much cooler place and people had the air on all summer set down to like 22c. I’ve gotten used to my new climate (well, more used to it, anyway), and it helps that I don’t have to go spend all day in an office whose temperature I don’t control.

    • Yeah, there was definitely a point where I’d have thought the same. Then I started shifting the setpoint up little by little. It’s something that takes time. But if you spend a lot of time in a place that keeps it way too cold all day, it’s harder to adapt. I guess you could just intentionally overdress, so you are a bit warm despite the cold temperature, but that seems like a waste.
