Wearing coats in cold office

[Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

Seems like heating in all our buildings has been turned off.
I share with 2 others and we are wearing coats or jackets and I also wear woolly mittens. Most of us are coughing and sneezing. I have a cough emanating from the middle of my chest which I can't reach when I cough.
I have an app on my phone and the readings today veered between 15.7 and 18.2. When it was at 16 deg I showed my boss and he said "very good".
I've decided not to go in tomorrow as conditions are intolerable. Have a doctor's appt on Friday which I'll keep if this coughing doesn't subside.

I am sure there is a government regulation or recommendation about minimum temperatures in the office. You could show this to him. And bring a heater in

There is, and it's piss weak:

That is ridiculous maybe they changed it to reflect the energy crisis. Buy a heater and plug it in

Government guidelines have been the same for years. I know as I have to deal with complaints of too hot/ too cold throughout the year.
There are no regulations on workplace temperatures. You can't expect people working at a steelworks furnace to complain that it's too hot. Or for a butcher or fishmonger to complain it's too cold when storing meat/fish in the freezer.
My sympathies as I've worked in cold offices and the only answer is lots of layers and plenty of hot drinks.

I am so dumb! Maybe it's brain freeze.
It never crossed my mind to bring in a heater.
I have a small Dimplex wheelie oil heater which is coming to work with me on Wed.

You'll have to have it pat tested before you can plug it in.

have you got thermals under your clothes? makes a massive difference.

Bring in a hot water bottle and put it on your lap.

Fingerless gloves…
