Are offices colder for women?

From The Panel, 4:57 pm on 11 February 2019

Our thermostats are sexist, a piece on Newshub suggests. They've enlisted the help of a University of Auckland lecturer to figure out why women are often colder in offices than men. Apparently it's all to do with our metabolism and how we regulate our body temperature. Everyone has a zone of temperature which they are most comfortable with.

The panelists weigh in on whether they've noticed this in their offices.
