It's in the brain, the hypothalamus. Probably because the brain is the most important organ in the body and it needs it temperature regulated more than any other body part: 10 degrees too hot and in 3 minutes, brain damage occurs, 6 degrees too hot for 30 minutes and damage occurs, 20 degrees too cold for 30 minutes and brain damage occurs.

What is thermoregulation?

Thermoregulation is the term we give to "temperature control" or the like. For example, the human body likes to run at an internal temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. And we have mechanisms within us that control our internal temperature. The biochemical structures that accomplish this are collectively termed the thermoregulation mechanism of the body. Other animals have them, too, but some lack them - like reptiles. A link is provided below.
