2- cool = 60 degrees F 20% rh
3- hot = 80 degrees F 80 % rh
We had operators paid to run the equipment usually in 10 - 12 hour shifts. When at 80/80 the operators got paid a differential like shift workers would get paid for a night shift.
90 degrees F 10% rh is very comfortable 90 degrees F 90% rh unbearable to me.

Humidity plays a huge role in how hot it feels. Heat Index
