Strangely this is a very a cultural thing.

I'm from Australia and in summer the cooling can't cope and does indeed result in indoor temperatures exceeding 28°C. However, I'm drenched in sweat and certainly can't focus at that point. I will happily head outside and enjoy the crazy heat, but be productive? Nope!

I think heating and A/C target around 21°C in Melbourne.

However, I traveled to Vienna for a week long contract some years back. Sure it was cold outside (snowing), but I found all the offices and buildings excruciatingly hot and couldn't focus one bit. Made for a very miserable working week.

Of course, the locals all managed fine, so despite it seeming like a personal preference thing, I can only assume it's something you can adapt to.
