According to the climate records of the last few decades, the weather is becoming more changeable and above all hotter. But it is not only outside that things are hotting up, because within one’s own four walls, the waste heat from household appliances, home electronics and computers are also pushing up the thermometer. On top of this, there are today’s airtight buildings with large areas of glazing and conservatories that cause warmth to build up and make the heat unbearable.

Airing the home at night during hot summer weather is hardly a remedy, because the heat of the day is stored in the building’s masonry. This is where air conditioning comes into its own, additionally providing clean room air and cost-effective heating in winter with just a single system.

The graph below shows how important the interplay of the optimum room temperature and humidity are for our sense of well-being.

Optimum room temperature

Scientific facts for your well-being

Stylish furniture, a harmonious colour scheme, atmospheric home accessories and plants in bloom all appeal to the eye. But we must not neglect the room air, because the quality of the air has a huge bearing on our well-being, physical and mental alertness, and even our health. The interplay of room temperature and relative humidity are the key to our well-being.

Upwards of 26° Celsius, alertness nose-dives. Humidity in excess of 70 per cent makes the actual temperature feel higher. We become tired, lose concentration and the accident risk increases, say independent scientific studies.

Humidity determines comfort

A Split air conditioner from Mitsubishi Electric brings comfort and a sense of well-being into the home. But it is not only one’s own feel-good factor, but also the long-term improvement in the value of the property that can sway a decision in favour of a reliable, permanently installed Mitsubishi Electric air conditioning system.
