Spain imposes restrictions on heating and air conditioning to save energy

Spain has announced new energy-saving measures, including limits on air conditioning and heating temperatures in public buildings and large commercial buildings, as it becomes the latest European country to try to reduce its energy consumption.

Applies to all public buildings, shopping malls, cinemas, theatres, train stations and airports, air conditioning must not be set below 27°C degrees Celsius during the hottest months of the year.

During the winter period, there is also a limit on heating, which cannot be set above 19°C in public places.

In order to save energy, air quality monitoring devices could be helpful. These monitoring devices provide real-time and historical air quality data such as temperature, humidity, CO2 etc., which will help determine temperature changes in a given time.
