Maybe they can burn solar panels in their fireplaces.

Perhaps it’s warmer in prison.

At least the prisons are kept at 69F.

I can’t believe that every Swiss home has one of those “smart” thermostats. So how would the government know if a house thermostat is set above 66.2 F?

Will they be conducting raids on suspiciously warm houses? Or will they develop a network of informers?

—”new heating rules which forbid setting the temperature above 19°C (66.2F)”

A NOTHING BERGER!

And above long existing codes in most locations.

Germany “If the room temperature sinks below 16C, the landlord must turn the heating on immediately.”
https://t.ly/huvu

Chicago: “the indoor temperature is required to be at least 64°F at all hours.”

Keep it too warm and you are asking to get sick.

In our house, we keep the primary stat 65F (only above that from solar gain, cooking or a burning fireplace), the bedrooms are 62, a very comfortable sleeping temperature.
The bathrooms and most of the house have heated floors and in my master bath, I have a bidet with a heated seat plus an 8-foot radiant ceiling panel.

Everything is fed by a 98% efficient Weil McLain Ultra gas boiler.

I can imagine a force driving around with hand held temperature reading devices similar to a code enforcement officer in some cities. Once they detect a temperature out of range they send in the police to read temperature inside.

Doesn’t swiss law require every citizen be armed?

“In our house, we keep the primary stat 65F “

So do we. 60 at night. I see my neighbors walking around in shorts and t-shirts so they must be keeping it pretty warm.

Oh no. They use them to keep the grass down beneath the virtue signaling solar panels at the IBM plant down the road.

“setting the temperature”

That implies a thermostat. Not on a wood-burning fireplace. Greta’s gonna get the crazy madz.

The orderly Swiss have pretty strong authoritarian, if not (yet) totalitarian, tendencies. I’ve been told that one of my great-grandfathers fled Swiss political persecution in the 1850s, though I don’t know any details.

—”So do we. 60 at night. I see my neighbors walking around in shorts and t-shirts so they must be keeping it pretty warm.”

Our utility bills show how our usage compares in the neighborhood and will show your percentile.

While bragging to the neighbors about how my new AC heat pump will move me into the top spot, they said the husband often leaves the stat up and lights on and they were not #1 ???

It was then decided #1 must be the vacant house down the road that is being completely rebuilt!

With Crazy Brandon’s new energy prices it will be difficult to stay on top.
We have a strong German and Polish contingent and they will put on the third sweater to avoid the crazy gas bills.

Being the son of a Scotsman, I and my German/Norweigan wife will give them a good run.
