18C in Winter or 18C in Summer! One is fair, the other is crazy!
Haha heating to 18C right now during the winter, it's 3-10C at night and 13-19C durung the day. Aussie here too
Which part of Aus? Sounds cold. What's the house made out of?
Did you see that article about how anything under 16 is bad for your health?
I'm in a cold part of Sydney. The house is brick (single brick in many areas), the floor has no insulation and neither does half of the ceiling. Thermal camera shows brick walls at about 12C while it's 20C outdoors. Typical indoor temperatures without heating are single digit most of the time, maybe peak at 12C for the day.
Do you have a link to this article?
Edit: why the downvotes?
I hate the downvotes too. I dont understand why we need them in small communities. I'll go looking, Lemmy's search isn't great.
I'll edit it back in soon.
https://aussie.zone/post/355545 - Guardian article. I talk about our place in there, which sounds similar to yours but in QLD. We get to near 0 in Winter. Warm days though.
Even under 18 is regarded as bad.
Personally I'm in an old brick apartment in Brisbane and this time of year it's regularly below that indoors. I can physically feel the air leaving through the gaps under the front door or under the sliding glass windows. The insulation is just terrible.
