Take Your Cool Space Temperature

Find out if your work space is cool! Take your cool space temperature, and then send us your thoughts about what makes a space cool. We recognize that determining what is and isn't cool is a very subjective 'science' (or is it art?). Think carpet squares and dropped ceiling tiles are the greatest inventions ever? We invite you to share your reasons with us - there is always an exception or two to the rule, so tell us why you think what you think.

To take your cool space temperature, simply fill in the blank and add up the degrees! In this case, the hotter you are on the scale, the cooler your space is!*
