If anyone is interested in the actual study, here you go:

Researchers studied the metric used to optimize temperatures in offices. This metric is based off the metabolic rate of men, not women, and means that most offices are set for temperatures that are fine for men but cold for women. However, one person said that this shouldn't make a difference as women tend to be smaller, so there's less surface area to lose heat.

However, men usually wear more clothes and do not tend to dress to the weather like women. Men will wear suits in the summer while women dress more appropriately. Since men are most likely to be in charge of setting the thermostat, they will set it to their comfort level.

Interesting that this much research went into explaining why women tend to be colder.
