yes.
As a midwesterner here. Anything above 75f is uncomfortable for me, i either have to be functionally naked (or literally) or in a cooler temperature to be comfortable.
It also varies from person to person, although i've noticed commercial buildings will often have a lower temperature, idk why this is, might be regulation, might be social policy, something or other, who knows.
Now it makes total sense. But for real, that bit about commercial buildings is the stuff I talk about. Sometimes it's freezing and it has its toll in health too.
im not sure how much of a toll on health it would have, unless maybe you're deathly allergic to air. Aside from like environmental impacts and stuff obviously, but there's gotta be a reason lol.

seems like standards exist, another proposed idea i've seen is oversized HVAC, which would make sense.
