What is the most suitable air conditioner temperature in winter?
The most suitable air conditioner temperature setting in winter is around 20℃.
From an energy-saving perspective:
- Around 20℃ is the most energy-efficient: According to official energy-saving initiatives and experimental data, setting the air conditioner to around 20℃ saves significantly more energy compared to higher temperatures (such as 26℃).
- Complies with national energy-saving guidelines: Public buildings are required to keep air conditioner temperatures no higher than 20℃ in winter. While not mandatory for home use, following this recommendation is beneficial for energy conservation and emission reduction.
From a comfort and health perspective:
Comfortable to the touch: Most people feel most comfortable at a room temperature of 20℃ to 24℃, which provides warmth without being too hot.
Avoiding health hazards: Excessive temperature differences between indoors and outdoors (such as exceeding 6℃) can easily cause colds and other discomforts. Setting the temperature around 20℃ helps maintain a reasonable temperature difference.
Preventing dryness and discomfort: Excessively high temperatures (such as above 26℃ or 30℃) can lead to a dry indoor environment, potentially causing dry skin, dry mouth, and other discomforts. Other Precautions
Adjustments Can Be Made: The optimal temperature varies from person to person. Those who are sensitive to cold can slightly raise it to 22℃-24℃, while those who are sensitive to heat can slightly lower it to 18℃-20℃. Adjust according to personal comfort.
Fine Adjustments Can Be Made During Sleep: The body’s metabolism slows down during sleep, so the temperature can be set within the range of 22℃-26℃ to avoid being too hot or too cold at night.
Protect the Air Conditioning Equipment: Avoid setting the temperature to extreme values (such as 30℃) to prevent the air conditioner from overloading and damaging the compressor.
