From the Desk of London's Renovation Maven: How Should you Set your Thermostat?


I had the pleasure of staying in London during this past snow-filled 2010-2011 winter. Actually I was super-busy with London renovation projects from my wonderful clients who craved a new-look home environment for the new year! With the biting cold I got a lot of questions from both former and current clients regarding in-home temperature regulation. I definitely agree that it is important to not allow your home to become too cold. Even after our London renovation team has achieved breathtaking results, you still need to keep those pipes from freezing! But at the same time, my advice as a London renovation pro is that you shouldn't go overboard - too warm can be quite unbearable.


From the Desk of London's Renovation Maven: Temperature Tips for Residential and Commercial Settings


Here are my tips for temperature control that won't endanger our planet or your wellbeing:


Commercial London renovation specialists insist that indoor swimming baths should be the warmest places, at a relaxing 27 Celsius. My commercial London renovation team also shared with me that the place where you can really turn down that thermostat is in a factory where employees are doing tough manual labour. In this case, you can safely dial it down to a nippy 13 Celsius and just invite your staff to pull on a light jacket if they feel too fresh.


I sent an email in to my residential London renovation team and discovered that the coolest places in the home are allowed to be at 16 Celsius - that's for wardrobes and porches. As you enter the bedroom, you need 18 Celsius for a good night's rest without a billion blankets. And what about for meals or late-night snack treats? 20 Celsius is appropriate for dining zones, according to my world-class London renovation colleagues.
