If your office is so cold that it feels like walking onto a polar ice cap, then maybe pledging to KPCC for a track jacket is a good idea.

But you're not alone — especially if you're a woman.

Researchers in the Netherlands have found a bit of gender inequity in the air: Thermostats in offices are often optimized to keep men, specifically, comfortable.

Not just any man, either. Specifically, a 40-year-old man who weighs around 154 pounds.

They explain how the metabolic rate of men runs higher, and therefore they feel warmer. The AC, then, may be blasting to keep them cool. However, that leaves the women in the office shivering.

Alan Hedge, an ergonomics expert at Cornell University, has researched the topic for years himself. He told Take Two that a warmer temperature isn't just better for female employees but helps overall productivity, too.
