Winter is here and with it, the question of heating. For decades, government guidelines have recommended an indoor temperature of 19°C to limit energy consumption. But is this really the best option for combining comfort and savings?
Some find this temperature too cold, while others claim it is sufficient to stay comfortable. Sleep and energy management specialists provide precise and nuanced answers on the true ideal temperature for each room in the house.
