Legislation and temperature limits and how they are measured

When it comes to indoor climate, temperature is one of the most important factors to control. It is not only a question of comfort, but also of health and well-being. Therefore, it is crucial to know the legislation and limit values for temperature, as well as how to measure them correctly.

According to the Danish Working Environment Authority, specific limit values have been set for the thermal climate in workplaces. These limit values are intended to ensure that employees have a comfortable and healthy working environment. It is important to comply with these limit values to avoid both excessively high and excessively low temperatures, both of which can have negative consequences for both well-being and productivity.

The Danish Building Research Institute has prepared a fact sheet on thermal indoor climate, which provides good insight into how temperature affects our health and well-being. It is important to understand that temperature is not only about comfort, but also about productivity and health. Therefore, it is crucial to have a handle on how to measure temperature correctly and how to ensure an optimal indoor climate.

The guidance on thermal conditions in the workplace from the Danish Working Environment Authority provides specific guidelines on how to ensure a good thermal indoor climate. It is important to pay attention to air temperature, radiant heat, humidity and air movement to create the most comfortable indoor climate.

According to the Danish Technological Institute, there are several different methods for measuring temperature in buildings. This can be done with traditional thermometers or more advanced sensors that can provide a more precise and detailed measurement of temperature. It is important to choose the right measurement method depending on the purpose of the measurement and the specific conditions in the building.

FAQ

What is the optimal temperature in a workplace?
