The temperature of each room must be good for health and well-being, but also to keep moisture away. However, it can be difficult to know where to start to determine the best room temperature. And keeping your home at a comfortable temperature during varied and sometimes unpredictable seasons is not easy.<\/p>\n<h2>The ideal room temperature for a home<\/h2>\n<p>Statistics are an excellent starting point for determining the best room temperature for your home.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The average indoor temperature is <strong>18\u00b0C<\/strong> ;<\/li>\n<li>A British study suggests that most people believe the ideal temperature to <strong>21\u00b0C<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In terms of human health and well-being, the World Health Organization (WHO) advises us :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The minimum recommended temperature is <strong>18\u00b0C<\/strong> ;<\/li>\n<li>The optimum ambient temperature is between <strong>18\u00b0C and 21\u00b0C<\/strong> ;<\/li>\n<li>Minimum temperatures of <strong>20\u00b0C or 21\u00b0C<\/strong> may be required for the elderly and the sick ;<\/li>\n<li>Temperatures below 18\u00b0C or above 24\u00b0C may pose <strong>a health risk<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Factors influencing the choice of temperatures<\/h2>\n<p>Some factors can affect the ideal temperature of your room. There is no point in adjusting your thermostat according to someone else&rsquo;s recommendations if you do not feel comfortable. Another factor to consider is the bedroom room. It is so advisable to keep different rooms at different temperatures, as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>21\u00b0C in living rooms, dining rooms and bathrooms;<\/li>\n<li>20\u00b0C in kitchens;<\/li>\n<li>18\u00b0C in bedrooms, corridors and locker rooms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-259\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thermogroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/temperature-logement-1024x362.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"940\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thermogroup-heating.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/temperature-logement-1024x362.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thermogroup-heating.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/temperature-logement-300x106.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thermogroup-heating.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/temperature-logement-768x272.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thermogroup-heating.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/temperature-logement-600x212.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the different temperatures reflect the different ways in which you use the rooms of your home. The hottest temperature is recommended <strong>in areas where you spend most of your time<\/strong>. The kitchen may be colder as it gains extra heat during cooking. There is no need to keep underused areas such as the corridor warm, and<strong> a lower temperature is better for more recuperative sleep.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>What temperature for a newborn?<\/h2>\n<p>Most experts recommend keeping your home at a temperature between 18 and 22\u00b0C for newborns. This may require <strong>heating the house in winter and cooling in the summer<\/strong> while properly dressing the baby at room temperature.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, babies regulate the temperature of their body by the head. The most important thing is that they fall asleep on their backs. Sleeping bags are a great option, with extra layers laid next to the baby if needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone wants to feel warm at home.
