How to Improve Indoor Temperature Stability
Improve Indoor Temperature Stability
Providing a comfortable indoor climate is vital for maintaining a healthy, productive lifestyle. Unfortunately, shifting outdoor temperatures, varying household needs, and inefficient systems can make it difficult to maintain ideal indoor comfort year-round. The good news is that simple changes can help reduce the impact of these challenges on your comfort, while promoting energy efficiency and cost savings.
While attic insulation factors influence the health effects of high indoor temperatures, such as thermal discomfort, a lack of personal control over thermostat settings, or exposure to outdoor air, proper insulation and sealing can greatly reduce risks by keeping conditioned air where it belongs. The first step is a simple home energy assessment. This can help identify opportunities for better insulating existing buildings and/or installing new insulation.
Seal And Insulate Together
NYU developed this temperature range based on policies of peer institutions, and best practices of the buildings and engineering industry, including New York City building codes and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). This policy was reviewed by the Provost’s Office, Executive Vice President for Facilities and Construction Management, and the Sustainability Advisory Group to ensure that diversity, equity, and inclusion were considered.
While the ideal indoor temperature for every person and situation is unique, lowering the thermostat setting during daytime hours to around 78degF is generally recommended in most homes. It’s also important to lower the setting a few degrees at night and during scheduled times when you are away.
