Air conditioning on 26 ℃ is the most appropriate?

Rumor content: Air conditioning on 26 ℃ both comfortable and save electricity.

Truth Interpretation: The most suitable temperature for air conditioning is not necessarily 26 ℃, but the temperature is set a little higher will be more energy-saving. Because the most suitable temperature for air conditioning, and human feelings, and the indoor and outdoor environment of the temperature, humidity, thermal conductivity of the wall, sunlight, indoor dynamic changes and other factors related to the air conditioning temperature will be dynamically adjusted to energy saving and emission reduction in large buildings. General household settings in the 26-30 ℃ are fine. Air conditioning power consumption and the region's temperature, humidity, wind speed and other meteorological conditions, air conditioning their own level of energy efficiency, the use of refrigerants, air conditioning structure and so on are related to the setting of the temperature up one degree, the impact may not necessarily be the same, but a lot of experiments have shown that the general trend is still "adjusted up one degree, a bit of electricity".
