Cooling thermostat settings
The cooling thermostat setting varies according to the climate region to take into account acclimatisation, and varies from room to room from the Summer neutral cooling temperature of that Climate Zone according to the effect of air movement, air temperature and humidity level in that space. The cooling methodology is based on the Effective Temperature method of calculating thermal comfort.
