Utility fees are increasing every year, especially during times of crisis for the economy. Unfortunately, nothing like this can be said about their quality. When citizens give a significant part of their means of blood to ensure comfortable living conditions, utilities strive to show dishonesty on all fronts of their work.

Dear readers!   Our articles talk about typical ways to resolve legal issues, but each case is unique.

If you want to know how to solve your problem - contact the online consultant form on the right or call free consultation:

Room temperature standards


The standard setting the acceptable temperature values \u200b\u200bfor residential premises in the cold season is "GOST R 51617-2000. Housing and communal services. General specifications. " He requires compliance with the temperature range of 18-25 degrees Celsius. Within this range, the norm for each type of room in the room is established.

So, in the living room the temperature should not be lower than 18 ° C, and in the bathroom - below 25 ° C. Deviations to the lower side are permissible only at night (0.00 - 5.00) by no more than 3 ° C. SanPiN, in turn, declares the upper limit of temperature. For example, for a living room it is 24 ° C.

The minimum temperature in a corner apartment is an indicator of 20 ° C. For the stairwell at the entrance of a residential building, the temperature norm is set in the range of 14-20 ° C, and for the interroom corridor - 16-22 ° C.

More detailed standards for all types of premises are set out in the Sanitary Rules and Norms of SanPiN. So, at workplaces of industrial premises, a temperature of 16 ° C to 24 ° C is requireddepending on the energy consumption of the work. In the attics and basements of apartment buildings, the temperature should not fall below 4 ° C.

Heating season

The timing of the heating season is determined by an autonomous heating system by the residents themselves, with centralized heating - by local authorities, but not arbitrarily, but subject to certain conditions.

According to the rules heating season   starts at an average daily temperature below 8 ° C for 5 consecutive days, ends at a temperature above this number for the same time.

Measurement of heat in the room

In order for the temperature measurement to be objective, a number of preconditions must be observed:

  1. Do not measure on a warm sunny day, since in such weather the room warms up additionally from the street;
  2. Necessary carefully check the tightness of the room, if there are sources of heat leakage (for example, through slots), the measurement will not reflect the state of heat supply.

So, temperature should be measured in at least two rooms. The exception is one-room apartments with a window, which occupies 30% of the wall area. The measurement distance should exceed half a meter from the outer wall and heating devices, and its height should exceed 60 centimeters.

Sample Verification Act temperature condition   can download.

If during the independent measurement you found that the temperature has been lowered, you should inform the Emergency Dispatch Service about this. If the heat supply disruption is not caused by natural factors (for example, an accident on a heating main), the dispatcher calls an emergency crew to the house, which constitutes the official measurement act.

Measurement should be carried out by a registered device that has all the necessary technical documents. The following information shall be indicated in the act:

  • date of its compilation
  • characteristics of the apartment,
  • composition of the commission
  • device data
  • temperature values
  • signatures of all members of the commission.

The act is drawn up in two copies, one of which remains with the owner of the apartment, and the other with the employees of housing and communal services, performing measurements.

Air exchange rate

Air temperature is not the only parameter that directly affects the comfort and safety of people in the house. Air exchange is important for the body: the presence of fresh air, ventilation of the residential and non-residential premises.

This parameter is also regulated by regulatory documents of SanPiN. So, the required rate of air exchange rate for a living space of 18 m² is 3 m³ / h per square meter, for the kitchen - three times more.

The rate of air exchange is a characteristic determined by the ratio of the air removed or supplied from the room in an hour to the volume of this room.

How to measure the coolant?

The heating medium in the central heating system is hot waterflowing from the tap.

You can measure its temperature in various ways, but the simplest is thermometer measuring tap water temperaturepoured into a glass.

It is also possible to measure the temperature of the pipes. The value of this parameter should be equal to 50-70 ° С.

Responsibility of utilities for temperature violation

If the room temperature in winter is below normal, what should I do?

By law, citizens have the right to demand 0.15% reduction in heat charges for each hour your utilities do not comply with your temperature standard.   After simple calculations, it can be established that for 4 weeks of providing low-quality heating services at home, the fee for it is reduced by more than 90%. Of course, public utilities will not voluntarily agree to such a recalculation, and therefore we must go to court.

Statement on recalculation of heating charges in Management company   can download.

History knows examples when citizens managed to defend their rights. So, in 2014, a resident of the Perm Territory exacted 136 thousand rubles from utilities for non-compliance by the utilities with their obligations to provide heat for her home.

  Annex 1
(informative)

Characteristics of certain categories of work

1 . Categories of work are distinguished on the basis of the intensity of energy consumption in kcal / h (W).

2. Category I and includes work with an intensity of energy consumption of up to 120 kcal / h (up to 139 W), performed while sitting and accompanied by insignificant physical stress (a number of professions at the enterprises of precision instrument-making and machine-building, watchmaking, clothing, in the field of control, etc.) .

3. Category I b include work with an intensity of energy consumption of 121 - 150 kcal / h (140 - 174 W), performed while sitting, standing or associated with walking and accompanied by some physical stress (a number of professions in the printing industry, in communications, controllers, craftsmen in various types of production etc.).

4 . Category II a includes work with an intensity of energy consumption of 151 - 200 kcal / h (175 - 232 W) associated with constant walking, moving small (up to 1 kg) products or objects in a standing or sitting position and requiring a certain physical stress (a number of professions in mechanical assembly shops machine-building enterprises, in spinning and weaving, etc.).

5 . Category II b include work with an intensity of energy consumption of 201 - 250 kcal / h (233 - 290 W), associated with walking, moving and carrying heavy loads of up to 10 kg and accompanied by moderate physical stress (a number of professions in mechanized foundry, rolling, forging, thermal, welding shops machine-building and metallurgical enterprises, etc.).

6. Category III   include work with an intensity of energy consumption of more than 250 kcal / h (more than 290 W), associated with constant movement, movement and carrying of significant (over 10 kg) heavy loads and requiring great physical effort (a number of professions in blacksmith shops with manual forging, foundries with manual stuffing and filling the flasks of engineering and metallurgical enterprises, etc.).

Determination of the thermal load index of the medium (Tns index)

1 . The index of the thermal load of the medium (TNS-index) is an empirical indicator characterizing the combined effect of the microclimate parameters (temperature, humidity, air velocity and thermal radiation) on the human body.

2 . The TNS index is determined based on the temperature of the wetted thermometer of an aspiration psychrometer (t ow ) and the temperature inside the blackened sphere (t w).

3 . The temperature inside the blackened ball is measured by a thermometer, the reservoir of which is placed in the center of the blackened hollow ball;t w   reflects the effects of air temperature, surface temperature, and air velocity. The blackened sphere should have a diameter of 90 mm, the smallest possible thickness and an absorption coefficient of 0.95. Accuracy of temperature measurement inside the ball± 0.5 ° C.

4 . The TNS index is calculated by the equation:

5 . The TNS-index is recommended to be used for the integral assessment of the thermal load of the medium at workplaces where the air velocity does not exceed 0.6 m / s and the intensity of thermal radiation is 1200 W / m 2.

6 . The method of measuring and monitoring the HPS index is similar to the method of measuring and monitoring air temperature (p.p.    - IIb (233 - 290)

Cosiness and Comfort are subjective assessments of a person’s feelings from the perception of the environment. The concept of “comfortable temperature” is so broad that it does not exist in technical vocabulary and regulatory documentation. The term "optimum temperature" is used here. Big difference.

  • The value of “comfortable” air temperature is a subjective assessment of the acceptability of environmental conditions, which is determined solely by human sensations
  • The value of the “optimal” air temperature is determined on the basis of complex physiological experiments and calculations. The value of this value depends on many factors and, most importantly, takes into account the needs of the average static human body. Each value of the “optimal” temperature for various conditions is supported by many years of research and observation. All information on the "optimal" air temperature is official legislative   nature and recorded in the requirements of sanitary standards -   SanPiN

SanPiN

SanPiN   - Sanitary Rules and Norms
(not to be confused with SNiP - Building Norms and Rules)

SanPiNs -the general name of the collection of Russian sanitary standards.
Already by one name it is clear that this is sanitary normative documentation that defines sanitary and hygienic standards for all spheres of human life and life.

SanPiNs   (along with GOST, OST, SNiP, etc.) have the status of medical technical legislative documentation, mandatory. Failure to comply with SanPiN requirements is punishable by law.

In the case of determining the optimal air temperature, the Sanitary Rules are most interesting, which establish optimal and maximum temperature ranges for working, residential and children's rooms.

    Optimum temperature for workrooms

    The optimum temperature at the workplace is established in an administrative procedure, according to SanPiN 2.2.4.548-96 "Hygienic requirements for the microclimate of industrial premises"

    The value of air temperature for workrooms should ensure the preservation of the thermal balance of the working person with the environment and the maintenance of the optimal or permissible thermal state of the body. For this, in Sanitary Rules, all types of work are divided into energy costs. At the same time, for each category its own temperature and its maximum deviations are indicated. And also, the time a person stays at the workplace, in case of non-compliance with the indicated temperature range.

    Characteristics of certain categories of work

    According to SanPiN 2.2.4.548-96   all types of work are divided into five categories (depending on labor intensity). At the same time, the amount of energy consumption of the employee’s body in kcal / h (W) is taken as the determining equivalent

    1. Category Ia
      Work with an intensity of energy consumption to 120 kcal / h (139 W)
      This is a job that is performed while sitting and is accompanied by minor physical stress. For example, a number of professions in the field of management and services, at the enterprises of watch and sewing industries, etc.
    2. IB category
      Work with the intensity of energy consumption 121 - 150 kcal / h (140 - 174 W)
      This is work that is performed while sitting, standing, or is associated with walking and is accompanied by some physical stress. For example, a number of professions in the printing industry, in communications, controllers, craftsmen in various types of production, etc.
    3. Category IIa
      Work with the intensity of energy consumption 151 - 200 kcal / h (175 - 232 W)
      This is work associated with constant walking, moving small (up to 1 kg) products or objects in a standing or sitting position and requiring a certain physical stress. For example, a number of professions in mechanical assembly shops of machine-building enterprises, in spinning and weaving, etc.
    4. Category IIb
      Work with the intensity of energy consumption 201 - 250 kcal / h (233 - 290 W)
      This is work related to walking, moving and carrying weights up to 10 kg and is accompanied by moderate physical stress. For example, a number of professions in mechanized foundry, rolling, forging, thermal, welding workshops of engineering and metallurgical enterprises, etc.
    5. Category III
      Work with an energy intensity of more than 250 kcal / h (more than 290 W)
      This is work associated with constant movement, movement and carrying of significant (over 10 kg) weights and requiring great physical effort. For example, a number of professions in blacksmith shops with manual forging, foundries with manual stuffing and filling the flasks of machine-building and metallurgical enterprises, etc.

    Optimum workplace temperature

    Depending on the intensity of labor, SanPiN 2.2.4.548-96   sets the following optimum temperature in the working room:

    production facilities

    Limitation of temperature and time spent at the workplace

    In addition to the optimum temperature in the working room, SanPiN 2.2.4.548-96   sets the maximum deviations for the air temperature at the workplace, and also imposes a limitation on the operating time if it (temperature) is higher or lower than the maximum permissible. It is noteworthy that the temperature gradation above the permissible (26 ° C) goes through 0.5 ° C.

    Optimum temperature for living quarters

    The optimum temperature for residential premises is established, according to SanPiN 2.1.2.1002-00 "Sanitary and epidemiological requirements for residential buildings and premises." Setting the optimum temperature in residential buildings and premises seems to be a simpler procedure, since in a residential building the person’s energy activity is stable and minimal.

    The value of air temperature for residential premises should ensure the preservation of the person’s thermal balance at rest and maintain the optimal or permissible thermal state of the body.

    Optimal temperature for preschool organizations

    The optimum temperature for the premises of preschool organizations is established, according to SanPiN 2.4.1.2660-10 "Sanitary and epidemiological requirements for the design, maintenance and organization of the mode of work in preschool organizations." Setting the optimum temperature for the premises of preschool organizations seems to be the most responsible thing, since children are most susceptible to temperature changes.

    The value of air temperature for the premises of preschool organizations should ensure the preservation of the child’s heat balance with the environment and the maintenance of the optimal or permissible heat state of his body.

    Unlike the optimum temperature in work and residential premises,
    the optimum air temperature in the premises of preschool organizations is set very rigidly and has virtually no intervals for maximum deviations

    Comfortable temperature of 18 ° C?

    As mentioned earlier, a comfortable temperature in residential and domestic premises is not regulated by any national regulations or documents. The definition of comfort is not standardized. The amount of comfort is not measured in numbers and is pronounced purely individual in nature.

      Comfort is a comprehensive assessment of a person regarding the acceptability of his sensations from the perception of the environment

    One, comfortable in felt boots, at -18 ° C,
    and the second - not comfortable in slippers, at + 18 ° C

    Sometimes, some value from the tables of optimal temperature is taken as the value of comfortable temperature, but this is not entirely true. The most famous example of such an error is the famous value of 18 ° C, issued by heat engineers as a comfortable temperature in the apartment.

    At a temperature of 18 ° C it is comfortable, except for pets

    In fact,

    • 18 ° C is the lower limit for the temperature in the living room according to SanPiN 2.1.2.1002-00
    • 18 ° C is the temperature at which the average person can stay for a long time without outerwear and damage to health

    Thus, it turns out that the temperature of 18 ° C has nothing to do with comfort. This is simply the lower limit of the safe temperature for the living area.

Every Muscovite remembers the hot summer of 2010, when for a couple of months the column of thermometers went off scale 30 degrees above Celsius, and Moscow was covered in a thick curtain of smoke. Ventilation and air conditioning systems did not cope with the situation in all offices. Things are not better this winter, when when the batteries are "spar" at maximum. The temperature at the workplace is like a desert during the day, and the employer does not blow a mustache?

It’s good to recall article 379 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, which states: “In order to protect labor rights, the employee, having notified the employer or his immediate supervisor or other representative of the employer in writing, may refuse to perform work not provided for by the labor contract, and also refuse performance of work that directly threatens his life and health, with the exception of cases provided for by this Code and other federal laws. At the time of refusal of the specified work, the employee retains all rights stipulated by labor legislation and other acts containing labor law standards ", SanPiN 2.2.4.548-96" Hygienic requirements for the microclimate of industrial premises ", which establishes acceptable levels of air temperature at workplaces, Appendix No. 7 of the Manual R 2.2.2006.05, which regulates the protection of time when working in a heating microclimate.

Now in more detail: SanPiN 2.2.4.548-96 normalizes the air temperature at the workplace depending on the category of work, based on the intensity of the total energy expenditure of the body in kcal / h (W). Without going into details, you can roughly determine the category of work under Appendix No. 1 GOST 12.1.005-88 SSBT General sanitary and hygienic requirements for air in the working area as follows:

  • category Ia includes work performed while sitting and accompanied by insignificant physical stress (a number of professions at the enterprises of precision instrument-making and machine-building, watchmaking, sewing, management, etc.).
  • ib category includes work performed while sitting, standing, or associated with walking and accompanied by some physical stress (a number of professions in the printing industry, at communications enterprises, supervisors, craftsmen in various types of production, etc.)
  • category IIa includes work associated with constant walking, moving small (up to 1 kg) products or objects in a standing or sitting position and requiring a certain physical stress (a number of professions in mechanical assembly shops of machine-building enterprises, spinning and weaving, etc.)
  • category IIb includes work related to walking, moving and carrying heavy loads up to 10 kg and accompanied by moderate physical stress (a number of professions in mechanized foundry, rolling, forging, thermal, welding shops of engineering and metallurgical enterprises, etc.)
  • category III includes work associated with the constant movement, movement and carrying of significant (over 10 kg) heavy loads and requiring great physical effort (a number of professions in blacksmith shops with manual forging, foundries with manual stuffing and filling the flasks of machine-building and metallurgical enterprises, etc.) .P.)
I hope to sort out the categories. Now briefly on the standardization of SanPiN 2.2.4.548-96 microclimate in the warm season. The warm period of the year is the period of the year, characterized by an average daily (this is important) outdoor temperature above + 10 ° С. Admissible microclimatic conditions are established according to the criteria of permissible thermal and functional state of a person for a period of 8-hour work shift. They do not cause damage or disruption to the state of health, but can lead to the appearance of general and local sensations of thermal discomfort, tension of the mechanisms of thermoregulation, worsening of well-being and a decrease in working capacity.

If the air temperature and / or thermal radiation at the workplace exceeds the upper limit of permissible values \u200b\u200baccording to SanPiN 2.2.4.548–96, the microclimate is evaluated according to the THC index.

For open areas in the warm season and air temperature of 25 ° C and below, the microclimate is assessed as permissible (class 2). If the temperature exceeds this value, the class of working conditions is established by the TNS index, which is recommended to be determined at noon in the absence of cloud cover.

The class of working conditions in terms of the THC index (° C) for workrooms with a heating microclimate, regardless of the season and open areas in the warm season (upper limit)

The HPS index is an empirical integral indicator (expressed in ° C), reflecting the combined influence of air temperature, its speed, humidity and thermal radiation on the heat exchange of a person with the environment. It is calculated by the formula: TNS \u003d 0.7 tvl. + 0.3 tш, where tvli tш - temperature of the wet thermometer and the black ball (for more details see Appendix No. 2 SanPiN 2.2.4.548-96)

In accordance with Appendix No. 7 of Guidance R 2.2.2006.05, time protection is provided when working in a heating microclimate:

1.1. In order to ensure the average shift thermal stress of workers at an acceptable level, the total duration of their activity under the conditions of a heating microclimate during a work shift should not exceed 7, 5, 3, and 1 hour, respectively, according to the hazard classes of working conditions (see table).

How workers of the Ford Motor Company from Vsevolozhsk struggled with heat

The trade union committee of AvtoVAZ OJSC Unity, together with specialists from the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation, has developed a methodology for self-protection of workers in accordance with Article 379 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation in the event that the air temperature at the workplace exceeds the maximum permissible standards. Ford Motor Company employees in Vsevolozhsk are already using this technique. Since such actions of the employee will entail or may result in a simple one, the specialists of the Ministry of Health and Social Development consider that the employee should notify their employer in writing, while sending him the corresponding act drawn up by the employee in the presence of witnesses in order to record a violation of labor protection requirements, which consists in exceeding the permissible air temperature at the workplace. Also, the employee must be informed of the circumstances of his immediate supervisor.

We suggest using the advice of ministerial experts and, in the event that you decide to suspend work in order to protect your right to safe working conditions, write an act and a notice on the reasons for the suspension of work based on the examples below.

(The act is written in duplicate, signed by at least three employees, one copy is given to the boss along with notifications of suspension of work, and the second copy with the boss’s signature on the receipt of the bill remains with the employee)
