I’d like to check the math though because I imagine heating and cooling a building with hundreds of people in it is much more efficient than heating and cooling all their homes all day.
- kumarvvr 6y agoIf you have someone living in your home, then your house is heated/cooled anyway. In those specific cases, energy use for office is a waste. I imagine atleast 50% of people working have someone at home while they are working.

- kumarvvr 6y agoAlso, apart from building thermal management, energy is consumed in commutes. Associated energy costs of infrastructure maintenance, vehicle maintenance, energy costs for transport of fuels, etc.

- JohnJamesRambo 6y agoSure but I thought we were just talking about office heating and cooling. Let’s add the medical costs of everyone being morbidly obese from work from home and the Covid 15 becoming the Covid 50 lbs. :)
- swader999 6y agoHard to work out on the commute unless it's by bike of course. All the extra free time makes it much easier to stick to the workout plan.
