I have lived in 2 cold climates that differ greatly in temperature comfort. Canada, with its R-2000 "standard" and China with its build-concrete-boxes-as-fast-as-possible method. The difference is incredible. Though Canada experienced colder and wetter weather, the indoor comfort was ideal. Whereas in a drafty concrete box, one relies on "heat people, not places" and it is uncomfortable much of the time. Especially during typing (gloves and keyboards don't mix) I'd say the 3rd paragraph of the article is the most important. If you have the choice, live in or build an efficent, insulated dwelling. If you're already stuck in a drafty box, this article has some good insights for you. I wish it would give more hints on how to keep typing fingers warm though.
