The room temperature corresponds to the temperature that should be reached at the design point (e.g., -10 °C) for the building. Below are examples of reasonable room temperatures (design indoor temperatures):

Living and sleeping rooms

20 °C

Common living areas

20 °C

Bathrooms

24 °C

Basement rooms

16 °C

Guest bathroom / Hallways

18 °C

Note: When a room is initially created, a default temperature of 20 °C is assigned. This value can of course be adjusted. For basement rooms, a default of 16 °C is applied.
