Indoor climate tips

Here's how you can help create a good indoor climate

There are many conditions, both internal and external, that can affect your indoor climate.

Here's an overview of what you can do yourself - and a little about what KLP Ejendomme does.

Cooling Season

KLP closes the property's radiators when no more heat is needed. In addition, we recommend that you and your colleagues be aware of several initiatives.

Once the cooling season has started, it is important that you and your colleagues:

• Ensure all radiator heat sources are switched off in cooled areas.

• Ensure that all windows and doors to the room are kept closed in chilled areas

• Introduce a routine to roll down the blinds every night so that the morning sun rays do not heat the premises before you meet

Especially for HUB two:

• Be aware that it is optimal if all operating pressures are set the same for each cooling zone
 

Adjusting levels

Note that you can basically set a small +/- value in the individual climatic areas, so if the room temperature is set to 22 C in general, for example, you can raise or lower it yourself.

Opening in a window will affect the cooling system's effect. If there is a large temperature difference between the climate zones, they will also be difficult to control.

About setpoints

For HUB two, the recommended set point in the summer is 23 C. Only Hoffmann has KLP's permission to change the general set points in the climate areas. This is to ensure that programming changes are transferred to the property's KNX system.

In HUB three, only KLP or KLP's supplier can change the general set points in the climate areas, so that we can also ensure that changes in programming are transferred to the property's CTS system.

For both systems, local changes in setpoints that are not updated in the property system will cause system errors, which can be very costly.

Here's how to lower the sun's heat

• Pull the blinds in and make sure they are angled to avoid the direct heat effect

• Use the blinds preventively by closing them until late in the evening to protect them from the morning sun, even before you and your colleagues meet at work.

Why do people experience temperature differently? Here are 10 reasons


1. Body fat percentage
  • Fat acts as insulation.
  • Thin people typically have less fat and therefore lose heat more quickly, which means they feel the cold more than people with more body fat.
2. Muscle mass
  • Muscles produce heat when they work (and even at rest they contribute to heat production).
  • People with more muscle mass often find it easier to stay warm.
3. Blood circulation
  • People with poor blood circulation (e.g. due to low blood pressure or circulatory problems) may experience cold hands and feet, even at normal temperatures.
  • Good circulation helps distribute heat throughout the body.
4. Metabolism
  • A high metabolism results in higher heat production.
  • People with a low metabolism (hypothyroidism) may feel cold, while those with a high metabolism may feel hot.
5. Hormones
  • Hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone affect temperature regulation.
  • Many women experience greater temperature sensitivity between phases of their menstrual cycle.
  • The menopause can cause heat or cold intolerance (hot flushes and feeling cold).
6. Age-related changes
  • Older people often have: lower muscle mass, reduced blood circulation and weaker temperature regulation. This is why many older people feel the cold more easily.
7. Acclimatisation
  • If you live in or frequently visit warm climates, your body can become accustomed to heat.
  • Conversely, people who are used to cold climates can thrive at lower temperatures.
8. Clothing and behaviour
  • People's choice of clothing, activity level and sitting/standing behaviour affect how warm or cold they feel.
  • Some people are generally more active during the day and produce more body heat.
9. Psychological and cultural factors
  • The perception of temperature can be influenced by expectations, mood or stress.
  • Culture also plays a role – for example, people from cold countries may perceive the same temperatures as ‘warm’, while others will feel cold.
10. Individual differences in temperature receptors
  • People's nerves and receptors in the skin can vary in sensitivity.
  • Therefore, two people can stand in the same room and literally feel the temperature differently.
