I very much doubt that the people responsible for temperature control are aware of the empirical thermal comfort models from 1960. My prediction is that almost none of them have any idea that the study exist or what it says. I contrast I suspect those people to be fully aware of the cost of running the temperature control system and if the CEO/manager of the company want it to be right now warmer or colder in their room. The resulting temperature is then the balance between costs and the willingness to make the CEO/manager happy.
