What degree is Room Temperature

[ScottieM3]

What degree is room temperature using the farenheit scale?
A chic at my work keeps cranking the heat up she says room temp. is 75 degrees, I say its 68 degrees, I'm pretty sure I'm right, but not possitive. I know she's not, but then again maybe she is.
hmmm
any help would be great!

room temp is between 65 and 75 so 70 is the average. We keep the server room at 65 which is dead on recomend room temp.

"Standard" room temperature is 22 degrees Celcius or 72 degrees Farenheit. Room temperature between 68 and 75 F is perfectly acceptable. If she's cold, then get her a space heater she can put under her desk.

Totally agree with elbatcho but that is room temp for Male humans and electrical devices. But women need 75 at least. what's with that.
I'd say give her the happy medium of 70 degrees. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

In cooking, The Food Safety Administration says it's anywhere between 45F and 140F. Pretty broad range.

Here in the server room and in any area of presion measurement the evironmental computer keeps the room temp 68-72 at all time.ASME considers this to be room temp.

Room temperature is whatever the temperature of the room happens to be.

(Sorry - I got my smart@$$ hat on)

Any temperature that YOU feel comfortable, who cares about you co-workers <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> 72F

I think 75 is to high. Besides wouldn't it be easier for her to put on a sweater or something?

Cold. I've lost the feeling in my feet and fingers (explains typing), but I've got to get to the and of the boards b4 I collapse with hypothermia!

In the UK the Health & Safety say that a room must be 16C or 60F as a legal minimum to work in, below that you get to go home with pay. The upper limit? somewhere in the 90F range! But if it helps - 68F is the recommended heating level for a room.

[snooper2]

average room temp is 70 F so set it at 70 and tell her to bring a jacket or something.

I'll never understand why women are always colder than men. The women here always crank up the heat, and then I have to go over and crank up the Air-Con!!! I prefer a room temp of around 65 or lower.

sorry, had to giggle....

a room of precision measurement is 68-72.!!! how precise is that????? <IMG SRC="smilies/confused.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/confused.gif" border="0">

That is the total variance allowable. The spread.In the cold room down to fifty millionths it is kept precisly at 70 all times. Materials must be aclimated for 24 hrs before being worked on. The spread is the range in which the materials that they work on are the most stable.If they set it for 68 it would work just as well after the temp was stable.Sorry if I didnt explain well. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
