A general view of a central heating thermostat
NEW research has found that households putting their health in danger by rationing energy use are saving less than they may have anticipated.
Working with the University of Salford, fuel poverty charity National Energy Action (NEA), found that households rationing energy use below 18°C made savings amounting to 66p per day.
For healthy adults, 18°C is the recommended minimum temperature to avoid risks to respiratory and cardiovascular health.
