Unlock the secrets to a perfectly heated home! Learn how to balance comfort, energy efficiency, and cost savings while creating a cozy and sustainable living space.

What is room temperature?

Ever felt too hot while others are shivering? It's no surprise – our perception of temperature is subjective and influenced by everything from our clothing to what we're doing. Finding a temperature that pleases everyone at home can feel like a quest for the Holy Grail!

What temperature should my home be?

Don't overheat your home! Aim for 18-21°C for optimal comfort and energy savings. Remember that different rooms may have different ideal temperatures – think a cozy 21°C in the living room and a slightly cooler 18°C in the kitchen.

Special considerations are needed for vulnerable individuals. Ensure a minimum temperature of 18°C for the elderly, those who are unwell, and babies to protect their health and well-being.

How does the ideal room temperature change in winter and summer?

Our homes need different care depending on the time of year. In the summer, we focus on keeping cool with strategies like ventilation and shading. As winter arrives, we shift our attention to efficient heating, insulation, and draft-proofing to maintain a cozy and comfortable living space.
