Don’t generalise from me. I am a very strange Australian!
From a business perspective, I think you are probably right. I don’t personally find cold affects my brain function (you can put on warm clothing right?), but heat probably does once we get above 30c. It’s summer right now in Aus, might be affecting some of my posting.
For home though, I’m happy for the inside to be much the same as the outside. Mostly though, I just want the interface between my home and the natural world to be permeable. I think that’s good for mental health, and that the pros outweigh the cons. The thing is that you can’t have that and properly insulate it at the same time. So a choice has to be made, and I personally lean towards less insulation/more lizards.
Having said that, we’re all different, whatever floats your boat. If you prefer plastic bubbles inside caves of steel, who am I to judge?
