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 ...
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.
All values refer to 25 °C and to the thermodynamically stable standard state at that temperature unless noted. Values from CRC refer to "100 kPa (1 bar or 0.987 standard atmospheres)". Lange indirectly defines the values to be standard atmosphere of "1 atm (101325 Pa)", although citing the same NBS and JANAF sources among others.
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.
Values are in kelvin K and degrees Celsius °C, rounded For the equivalent in degrees Fahrenheit °F, see: Boiling points of the elements (data page) Some values are predictions
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.
Some PTC heating elements are designed to have a sharp change in resistance at a particular temperature. These elements are called self-regulating because they tend to maintain that temperature even if the applied voltage [1] or heat load [2] changes. Below that temperature, the element produces a large amount of heating power, which tends to ...
