Last week, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas asked Texans twice to set their thermostats to 78 degrees and avoid using large appliances during peak hours.
Ideal thermostat setting for summer. Just as 68 degrees F is considered the best temperature for a house in winter, experts call 78 degrees F the magic number for the summer months. This interior ...
ENERGY STAR says it doesn't recommend setting the thermostat to 78 degrees or any specific temperature in the summer. What should you do to save?
The building balance point temperature is the outdoor air temperature when the heat gains of the building are equal to the heat losses. [1] Internal heat sources due to electric lighting, mechanical equipment, body heat, and solar radiation may offset the need for additional heating although the outdoor temperature may be below the thermostat set-point temperature.
Owing to variations in humidity and (likely) clothing, recommendations for summer and winter may vary; a suggested [by whom?] typical range for summer is 23–25.5 °C (73–78 °F), with that for winter being 20–23.5 °C (68–74 °F). [8]
The constants listed here are known values of physical constants expressed in SI units; that is, physical quantities that are generally believed to be universal in nature and thus are independent of the unit system in which they are measured. Many of these are redundant, in the sense that they obey a known relationship with other physical ...
Every degree set higher than the recommended range can save you about 5% on cooling costs. Customers can also request a meter check and obtain a new “smart meter” if one is not already in place.
On the other hand, some constants, such as K f (the freezing point depression constant, or cryoscopic constant), depend on the identity of a substance, and so may be considered to describe the state of a system, and therefore may be considered physical properties. "Specific" properties are expressed on a per mass basis.
