This event aims to educate and inspire people on what they can achieve in their own homes and gardens. 

A recent study by Maastricht University suggests that the ideal office temperature formula is based on the body heat of an average man. Specifically a 70 kilogram, 40 year old male. The issue is, metabolic rates can vary across humans subject to a number of factors like weight, age, fitness level, etc. Women's metabolic rates are 20 to 35 percent lower than males. The research conducted in the Netherlands found the current model had the potential to overestimate women's heat production by up to 35%. This explains why some women feel cold in a standard office temperature.
