People who work from home all the time ‘cut emissions by 54%’ against those in office

Study in US shows one day a week of remote working cuts emissions by just 2% but two or four days lowers them by up to 29%

I find this quite surprising. When I’m working from home during the winter, I’m heating a lot of the house that would normally be unheated.
I would have assumed that bringing multiple people together into a single heated space would have been more energy efficient
-
This is based in the US. I imagine a lot of that also comes from air con, very long commutes and other wasted office energy use.
-
There's so many other things to consider, including e.g. traffic
-
Yes, of course. But I’m calling out the one factor that they specifically talk about
-
What's more efficient? Heating a small home that id well insulated and geared towards economical energy use or heating massive empty spaces of a practically non-insulated office building with massive heaters while at the same times the homes are being heated? (Albeit to a lower temperature)
-
There’s a whole lot of assumptions there. Anyway, the report says I’m wrong.

I imagine a lot of people have the air on for indoor animals while they go to the office.
