Despite two of its cities – Phoenix and Tempe – passing maximum indoor temperature laws, the county registered 156 indoor heat-related deaths last year, a five-fold increase over the last decade.
A digital thermometer reading an ambient temperature of 36.4°C (97°F) in an unventilated room during a heat wave; a high indoor temperature can cause heat exhaustion or heat stroke in a person. The World Health Organization in 1987 found that comfortable indoor temperatures of 18–24 °C (64–75 °F) were not associated with health risks ...
For this model the standard provides a graph of acceptable indoor temperature limits at prevailing mean outdoor temperatures (a mean of the daily mean outdoor temperatures of the previous 7–30 days). An accompanying table lists provisions for higher operative temperatures at air speeds above 0.3 m/s (59 ft/min) and up to 1.2 m/s (240 ft/min).
According to the World Health Organization, the ideal indoor temperature for healthy people is between 64 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. People who are very young, very elderly or who have health ...
For naturally conditioned system, the minimum prevailing mean outdoor temperature (tpma (out)), calculated from average outdoor temperature entire day, must be 10 degrees Celsius and indoor temperature of 31% of the tpma (out) plus 14.3 degrees Celsius. The maximum tpma (out) must be under 33.5 degrees Celsius and indoor temperature of 31% of ...
The ideal temperature to set residential thermostats at during winter in Louisiana is said to be 68 degrees. This temperature is optimal for warmth and comfort , and efficiently counteracts heat ...
The base temperature does not necessarily correspond to the building mean internal temperature, as standards may consider mean building insulation levels and internal gains to determine an average external temperature at which heating will be required. Base temperatures of 16 °C and 19 °C (61, 66 °F) are also used. [6]
The U.S. Department of Energy suggests by maintaining an indoor temperature of 78 degrees, homeowners can reduce their energy bills while still keeping their homes comfortable.
