Was the ark cold?

In s1, Everyone was wearing long sleeves / jackets / multiple layers. Considering, The situation, it seem rather wasteful. I would think the ark would try to spread their resources thin, and tank tops and shorts would wast less resources .

Space is reallyyy cold; much less energy consumed by heating if everyone dresses a little warmer.

[u/rygdav]

Probably. Space is damn cold, and heating uses a lot of resources, so they probably kept the heat pretty low.

Heat requires energy, considering that they were having trouble with energy for a long time. It would probably be a little cold in the Ark to try and conserve energy. Also I don't think it would be wasteful to wear multiple layers of clothing since they share those as well.

Wearing layers helps save energy on heating
