In Europe, the temperature in houses is controlled by city steam generators in the regional power plants...

>23c
I would die in Russia.

These are temps for the winter time (Usually it's way higher though, it was 26c in my flat this whole winter even though it was +6c outside).
When it's comfy (may-october) the heating is off, so it's only up to the mother nature to decide what the temperature in your apartment is going to be

We have these things called thermostats on our heaters. I'm not sure if they've been invited in jungle land yet.

*invented
I'm still drunk from last night

So you tellin me da government be changin my celsiuses n shiet??

Have you never lived in an appartment, specifically in an older block? It's not at all uncommon for tenants to have no control over temperature, or at most to only have auxiliary electric heating which isn't even necessary because the temperature is always way too hot all year long.

Personally I agree with you, 23c is very uncomfortable (in winter I keep my bedroom at 15 °C and the rest of the house at 17 °C). Unfortunately, the average person apparently has no limit to how much heat they can tolerate but on the other hand despises cold to an extreme extent. As such, there's a ton of people who find anything less than ~23 °C to be cold, hence why heating setpoints are so ridiculously high.

it's true that if i touch this shit, special forces will come and get me

>amerihouses have individual heat settings per building
Do they really? What the fuck is the point? All humans are roughly the same temperature at 37°C. I know yanks are obsessed with "muh freedumbs" but I didn't know it applied to fucking building ventilation. No wonder they're so indebted if they spend it on shit like installing a steam generator plant in every mcmansion in the country

i am acclimated to 73 degrees Fahrenheit. more than 3 degrees in either direction is uncomfortable for me.

Stop right there.

What we have radiators in every room where we can turn up the heat. And for cooling you can always open the window during the night

Wait, what the fuck is wrong with europe

I don't understand how you southern people can handle the summer. It get's up to 30C here these days and I want to die.

Our climate is actually pretty cold thanks to the Alps but yeah the last few summers were mental

>thanks to the Alps
Ah that makes sense.

>residents are not allowed to set temperatures per home individually
wait wtf? europe is truly third world lmaoooo

>heating
user, the coldest temperature i ever encounter was -7ºC. And it was something like 4AM drunk in the street.
We don't need heating at all (unless you live in one of those meme houses).

>not having one of these in your room

Does it ever snow there?

My house is in the south. He have really thick stone walls and high ceiling. No refrigeration is needed because white architecture.

Just a little bit.

looks pretty comfy desu

Not him, but very rarely in the mountains of the South, we call it serra I'm not sure if the direct translation is mountain.

In my first apartment the heat in the building was regulated by the landlord and set at 65°F (18.3°c) in the winter, the minimum allowed by law.

We don't have mountains here. I think our highest peak is about 1k m.

Xaxaxaxaxaxax mountainlets

feels bad man don't rub it in

Man, you need to understand brazilians.
We complain and bitch about everything.
>too hot
>too cold
>it doesn't rain in weeks
>it's raining
>there is too much clouds in the sky, we can't see the sum
>the sum is too strong
We don't appreciate our country.
More like highlands.
Most of the south is less than 100 meters above sea level, so even with really cold temperatures, it doesn't snow for shit (twice every 100 years the hell break lose and snow like it's the end of the world, houses collapse because they are not build to hold a few meter of snow, livestock froze to death, hundreds of car crashes because people had no idea of how to drive in frozen roads, etc)

Everyone wants to complain about everything. We complain about having too warm winters and not getting enough snow.

Yeah, but you are set way near to the one of the poles than us. Height isn't the only factor determining climate, but in places like this.

The picture the other user posted is from one other the cities that are in a plateau and to get there you hat to go up some mountain.

I love those zigzagging roads on mountainsides.

I have radiators in my house I can manually adjust during winter.

this is actually true. last winter they lowered the temperature by a couple of degrees in order to meet climate goals, i had to burn old boxes to keep warm.

wait are you joking?
i know some people here have district heating, but how does that imply not having a thermostat? what if you only want 18c during the winter?
is this a wagiepeasant thing?

>in multiple arguments with americans deriding them for having a thermostat
>hailing all the advantages that come with communal steam generators
>actually managing to convince some retards that euros don't have central heating and instead have one big steam generator per city

great thread

HOY MATE, DO YOU HAVE A LOICENSE TO REGULATE THE TEMPERATURE OF YOUR OWN HOME?

Yes.

what you are thinking of is central heating
you have radiators in your commieblock
hot water circulates in the tubes coming inside the building, going through the radiator

its a commieblock thing, you can turn it off in every radiator individually, or set it whatever you like
there are heating seasons (octorber-april) and the minimum tempreture is about 22, you usually get more because the tubes go through your flat and even if you dont heat a room, thanks to flats around you, it is still warm

so no, you dont heat your own home, only adjust it and the bills you get for it is uncodeable bubble of kilojeoules and shit

What the fuck? Is this true? I've never seen this in any house anywhere.

Its true, but only in apartments I think. It's the cheapest option.

We dont have heating in here,at least most people

Maybe in shitty modern buildings but every house here has it's own heating system. I've never heard of such thing as city steam generators.

Well why would you need heating?

That makes more sense. I'm a plumber in NYC and most homes have their own steam boilers (being phased out for condenser boilers).
Apartments/ buildings usually have a boiler room at the sub basement.

Well same thing over here.

its a safety issue, you dont want gas explosions in 10story buildings
same reason you arent allowed to operate propane gas tanks

Actually our houses in the winter get really cold due to the lack of isolation,ofc it doesnt get northern europe cold but its not comfy

We have insulation and double or even triple windows here.

Isolation is good for heat too, why don't you have any ?

I have no idea,I would guess because its cheaper to make lol

What about a propane gas grill for BBQ in your backyard?

>gas grill
Please execute yourself right now. Coal or nothing.

Its true here in nyc too. Annoying when its still burning hot and mid-april
