I like my space cold. I am perfectly comfortable at 68, 66 and even on most days 64. But that isn’t reasonable. I believe 72 to be reasonable.
Our office is usually 74 or 76. I am miserable and feel that a compromise is in order. 72.
What is reasonable to you?
I’m with you. 68 is about my perfect temp. 72 is ok. Higher than that and I’m sitting in my underwear. Higher than about 76 and I’m downright BITCHY.

I have threatened them with this very fate. This is NOT something that they want to see. 
Mmmm…give it to me tropical style! I’m the one sitting at her desk with a coat on in midsummer.
We’ve recently moved into a new building and two of our walls are windows and we are on the south side of the building. Something is going on so that the heating/cooling hasn’t been very effective to balance out the heat/cold from the windows. So we have ranged from 61 in February at the lowest to 79 most days now at the highest. I am betting in August we will reach at least 85 degrees. We have a thermometer so we can talk about the temperature (constantly) and I have found that I am quite content at around 77. I turn my under-desk heater off just out of courtesy when our area reaches 75 though.
I get really unhappy when it is over 74 or so. 72 is about perfect. Unfortunately, I have a co-worker who is cold at 72, so we compromise at 73-74.
I hate, hate, hate being cold yet 74 and especially 76 is too much, particularly after lunch when one is feeling sleepy. 72 or even 70 is fine. But no 60’s.
72-76 is great for me. I’d be fine with it up to 80 actually. I don’t know if this is a factor, but my body temp tends to run low, (97.3ish). If I’m at what is considered normal I have a fever.
Well there used to be a temp at work once that I would have liked… oh wait.
Sorry. 21 (70) sounds good.
Depends on the season. Winter: 65. So I can feel comfortable in sweaters, not hot and itchy. Summer: 75. So I can wear cute summery shirts and skirts and not turn blue.
I’d consider 75 reasonable.
I’d be uncomfortable, but if I had it warm enough for me, everyone else would be sweltering.
I’d say 72 is reasonable, but it’s too cold for me. Sitting at a desk all day makes me feel cold all over, so I prefer it warmer. I’d like it at 76, but I know that’s too warm for a lot of folks.

I’d like to offer you a job. We keep our office right about 75-76. Seems perfect for you (did I mention our “casual” dress code?)
73-74 for me. 72 is a shade too cold, 75 a shade too warm.

That’s cuz they crank the durn AC up so much during the summer. I have an adjustable vent above my desk, in the summer I close it to block the cold air, and in the winter I open it to get as much heat as possible.

I think you are hitting on what I was getting at. 72 is too warm for me, but if we put it at what I would prefer most people would be cold. I think 72 is a reasonable compromise.
