Bug Description
My MacBook Air gets quite hot to the touch during minor usage (i.e. machine sitting untouched with browser and terminals open). The fan should really be starting up before the machine becomes uncomfortable to touch, but for some reason the fan is not triggered. What additional details can I provide to better describe the issue?

Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a kernel version where you were not having this particular problem? This will help determine if the problem you are seeing is the result of the introduction of a regression, and when this regression was introduced.
