I'm too often cold

With the air conditioning in the buildings, shops, restaurants, etc. in the US I find myself too often being cold. I now systematically bring a sweater when we go inside as I know I will get cold instantaneously or within 15min.
Fair enough it's warm or even hot outside, but does that justify getting people to freeze once they are inside?
On top I cannot help thinking that with only 1-2C more in the buildings, a lot of energy would be saved. It would cost less and even be better for the planet.
Or is it a strategy from the clothing industry to get you to buy sweaters even when it's 30C outside?
