Spain bans setting the AC below 27 degrees Celsius
Helpful member
A decree published on Tuesday morning in the official
state gazette and scheduled to go into effect next week mandates that
air conditioning in public places be set at or above 27 degrees Celsius
(about 80 degrees Fahrenheit) and that doors of those buildings remain
closed to save energy.
Those public places include offices, shops, bars, theaters, airports, and train stations. The decree is being extended as a recommendation to all Spanish households. The rules include maintaining heating at or below 19 degrees Celsius (about 66 degrees Fahrenheit) in the winter and will remain in place at least through November 2023.
