Air Conditioning and Heat Tolerance
Years ago, when working in an air conditioned office I came up with the theory that air conditioning, rather than helping us, during heatwaves, actually has the opposite effect. I came to this idea when I stepped out of my air conditioned office into a warm summer’s day wearing a fleece, and maybe even a sweater. It seemed absurd at the time, because around me people were walking in t-shirts and shorts and I was dressed for winter.
