Warm or cool? What is the optimal temperature for your home?

Of course, each of us has our own individual level of comfortable room temperature. But is this level healthy?

Why is the correct room temperature so important?

In most cases, setting the temperature level depends on the preferences of the residents - those who are more “frozen” will choose a higher temperature, but it is important to know that closed and excessively warm air leads to a loss of concentration, a decrease in fluid in the body, and provokes drowsiness and even headaches.

Otherwise, when the room temperature is below normal, there is a risk of dampness and mold, and ultimately the development of respiratory diseases.

Setting the temperature depending on the room

Hall/common room —the optimal temperature is 20⁰ C, where heat from residents, as well as from electrical appliances, accumulates. At the same time, it is important to wear clothes suitable for home: comfortable and warm, since they play a very important role in maintaining body temperature.

bedroom— the optimal recommended temperature for the bedroom should vary between 18 - 20⁰ C in order to provide the body with suitable conditions for quality sleep.   The explanation for this is very simple - the brain constantly regulates body temperature, so if the temperature is set above 20⁰ C, there is a risk of very difficult falling asleep, numerous awakenings during the night and, moreover, getting out of bed in a tired state, with a headache and a feeling of nausea. At the same time, setting the temperature lower than 18⁰ C can lead to serious consequences - from sore throat to colds and respiratory diseases.

Children's room -the recommended temperature is slightly higher - 21-22⁰ C, and in the case of infants, whose immunity is just developing, the optimal temperature should be in the range of 21-23⁰ C.

Bathroom -the recommended temperature should be higher than in other rooms and vary from 22 to 24⁰ C. In this case, a higher temperature is needed in order not to expose the heated body to hypothermia and colds.

Non-residential room -the opinion that in unused rooms the heat can be turned off completely is erroneous. A very large difference between the temperatures of the rooms will only speed up the cooling of the walls, and therefore the entire room. As a result, in order to maintain the desired temperature in the house, the heating bill will be the same or even higher.

If you are leaving for a longer period -in case of departure for a long period, it is recommended to set the temperature to 14 - 15⁰ C and in no case turn off the heat completely, for several reasons:

— Increasing the room temperature to the desired level upon arrival in a shorter period of time and with fewer resources;

— Avoiding freezing of pipes and the appearance of cracks in them;

— Avoidance of mold and dampness.
