Recommended room temperatures

Living room, children's room and kitchen: approx. 20°C
Bathrooms and wet rooms: approx. 21°C
Bedroom: approx. 18°C

Do not turn off the heating completely

Never turn the heating off completely, even when you are away, as reheating it uses more energy.

closing doors

Avoid indirect heating of cooler rooms to prevent condensation and mold growth.

Ventilate several times a day

Misted-up window panes often indicate that the humidity in the room is too high. Ventilate the room several times a day by opening the windows wide for at least five minutes each time. If you are away during the day, do so at least in the morning and evening.

Shock ventilation instead of continuous ventilation

Avoid ventilating through tilted windows during the heating season, as this results in higher heat losses than targeted shock ventilation.
Immediately after cooking, showering, drying laundry – ventilate briefly!

Ideal furniture

To reduce the risk of mold caused by moisture:

External walls: leave few pieces of furniture or at least 10 cm distance from the wall
Interior walls: at least 5 cm distance from the wall for air circulation
