My experience is, while that is true, problem is, if you want to move away from the ground temperature, which is, let’s just say, 9°C experience-wise, then you will need to have your heating running 24-7 to move it to a liveable temperature, even if that temp is just 16°C. My perspective is insofar biased that it comes from gas heating, and I had no control over that place’s heating. So in short: fuck gas. My current living situation is as follows. I live on the second floor. Left of me, there’s a flat that’s heating. Right of me, there’s a flat that’s heating. On top of me, there’s a flat that’s heating. Below me, there’s a flat that’s heating and behind me is the hallway, which has 20°C for the entire year. Basically, I have my heating turned to frost protection and I get 25°C, no joke. Plus I have district heating now. So that’s a massive improvement.
Doesn’t that depend on the relative temperatures? Surely the ground is warmer than a typical winter day.
