Unless there is a reason to work at a specific temperature, it is clearly more convenient not to control the temperature. By consulting such tables, a researcher may estimate, for example, how fast a chemical reaction is likely to proceed at room temperature. Researchers choose to study a process outside its natural temperature range for a variety of reasons, depending on what they wish to test experimentally.Įxperimentalists have an advantage in anticipating aspects of a room-temperature experiment, because the temperature is close to 20 ☌ (68☏, 527.4 °R, 293 K), at which many of the material properties and physical constants in standards tables have been measured. The phenomena that researchers may choose to study at room temperature can naturally occur in the range of 20 to 23.5 ☌, or they may not. However, productivity is dependent on thermal comfort. In most cases, considerable temperature variations are irrelevant work may be carried out in winter or summer without heating or air-conditioning, without mention of the temperature. Usually this means a temperature at which many people are comfortable, around 20 ☌. In such cases if any mention of temperature is made, it is customary and sufficient to speak simply of "room temperature," which essentially implies simply that what is being spoken of has not been specifically heated or cooled. For example, a measurement of the charge of the electron does not depend upon the temperature of the test equipment. The progress and results of many scientific and industrial processes depends a little or not at all on the temperature of the surroundings of the equipment. However, room temperature is not a precisely defined scientific term as opposed to Standard Temperature and Pressure, which has several, slightly different, definitions. For numerical convenience, either 20 ☌ or 300 K is often used. To achieve a good SIAQ, it recommends room temperature should be at a maximum of 22.0 ☌ (71.6 ☏).įor scientific calculations, room temperature is taken to be roughly 20 to 23.5 degrees Celsius, 528 to 537 degrees Rankine (°R), or 293 to 296 kelvins (K), with an average of 21 ☌, about 72.8 degrees Fahrenheit (☏).
A study carried out at the University of Uppsala ( Sweden), on indoor air quality and subjective indoor air quality (SIAQ) in primary schools, states that perception of high room temperature was related to a poor climate of cooperation. According to the West Midlands Public Health Observatory (UK), 21 ☌ (70 ☏) is the recommended living room temperature, whereas 18 ☌ (64 ☏) for bedroom temperature.
For human comfort, desirable room temperature greatly depends on individual needs and various other factors.
