A debate has been sparked after Spain’s government moved to prevent offices, shops and other venues from setting air conditioning below 27°C in the summer.
It is part of plans to cut the country’s energy consumption and limit dependency on Russian gas.
The decree, published on Tuesday morning, will also stop heating from being raised above 19°C during the winter.
The rules will be mandatory in all public and commercial buildings, including bars, cinemas, theatres, airports and train stations.
It is extended as a recommendation to Spanish households.
