The problem is corporations are happy to send people home all year round just to cut their own energy costs, esp. in the non-temperate climate periods when the collective on-site energy efficiency is most needed. That’s what the corporate bottom line dictates. Staff are happy to take that lifestyle at the cost of energy inefficiency. There’s no policy or mechanism anywhere to reverse that and discourage teleworking when the outdoor temp is outside temperate ranges.
Heating an cooling impact is incredibly dependent on location and season. Work-from-home is lower energy at least seasonally in a lot of places.
