what is the recommended ideal air temperature for indoors
Dear Chulito,
Room temperature is a common term to denote a certain temperature within enclosed space at which humans are accustomed. Room temperature is thus often indicated by general human comfort, with the common range of 20°c (68°F ) to 25°C (77°F),[citation needed ] though climate may acclimatize people to higher or lower temperatures.
The term can also refer to a temperature of food to be consumed, which is placed in such a room for a given time. Furthermore, it may refer to a certain temperature within settings of scientific experiments and calculations.
For human comfort, desirable room temperature greatly depends on individual needs[citation needed ] and various other factors. A study carried out at the Uppsala University , on indoor air quality and subjective indoor air quality (SIAQ) in primary schools, states that perception of high room temperature was related to a poor climate of cooperation. To achieve a good SIAQ, it recommends room temperature should be at a maximum of 25.0°C (77.0°F).[ 1]
