According to a new study by Tado, the houses in Italy are increasingly cold, with an average temperature of 18.5 ° C, in third place in Europe after the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
The analysis of Tado’s data reveals A constant drop in domestic temperatures in Europe from 2020 to 2024with a direct impact on energy costs.
The area with the highest home temperature (18.7 ° C) is the North-West, also to cope with the rigid external winter climate. Then follow the islands, which maintain a temperature only slightly lower than the North-West (18.5), the North-East and the South of the country while in Central Italy, in contrast to what would be expected, the coldest houses are recorded. Beyond this data, even at regional level, a lowering of temperatures can be seen compared to the years prior to Covid and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict which confirms the trend already highlighted in the first part of the research: Italian families, to cope with dear energy, prefer to keep the heating on a lower temperature that touches 18.5 ° C.
To complete the study, Tado’s analysis then focused on relating the moment of the first ignition of the year of heating with the external temperature. From the analysis it emerges that The first to have turned on the heating were the Danish on 13 September 2024 when the external temperature was equal to 11.7 ° Creconfirming their label of “cold” highlighted by the average home temperature that touches the 20 degrees (the highest figure among the countries analyzed). Other countries in Central Europe as Germany follow, which inaugurates the heating on September 14, 2024 with an external temperature of 12.4 ° C, and the France that follows it a couple of days later at a temperature of 13.5 °. A case in itself is that represented by the Netherlands which, although the external temperature is slightly higher than the Danish one, waited 12 days before accessing the heating, showing considerable resistance to the cold.
To better manage the domestic climate and cope with dear energy, Tado offers smart solutions for heating. The intelligent programming features, geolocation and detection of open windows allow you to optimize energy consumption, with an average saving of 22% on annual heating costs.
