    Can anyone advise what the minimum and maximum temperature in an office should be? It is constantly freezing in our office and the boss refuse to let us turn on the heat.

    21-25 as far as I know .... its one of those things that you can never satisfy everyone. Perhaps your sitting near a vent or directly under the a/c. Try moving.

    According to the Health & Safety Authority Website

    This is covered by Guidance Section 7 of new General Application Regulations 2007.
    There is no maximum temperature stated under the regulations but as a guideline a minimum comfortable working temperature for indoor sedentary workers is 17.5 degrees centigrade.

    Go for 'warming up breaks' at regular intervals. If your boss questions your constant absence, let him know what you are doing.
