You seem to think that corporate owners of commercial properties switch off the lights, heating and/or AC when they’re empty.
In reality they leave them on even in empty properties, then lecture the rest of us about how it’s our fault the climate is fucked because we forgot to unplug a 12 volt phone charger or flushed the toilet twice.
On a related note, remember that time you put the lid of a cola bottle in the wrong recycling bin? Clearly you’re a hypocrite and in no position to suggest a factory dumping 12 tonnes of microplastics in a river is bad.
If working from home was standard, there’d be less need for offices, and less, smaller, offices would exist. Leading to less energy wasted in heating offices (as well as .kre space for residential).
Ah. This is a simple mistake.

Easy fix, eat the rich
Short term increase in emissions for long term decrease
This is the answer, I work in a corporate office that is heated regardless of whether I am present or not.
But to be fair, the office is never empty during office hours, so it’s not like an individual working from home would allow them to turn off the heat.
