[경제]If you open a heating tent in the bedroom, it will be 3℃ warmer… 21% fuel cost savings

[앵커]

Experimental results have shown that on a cold winter like these days, if you open a heating tent in the bedroom, you can stay warm by 3℃.

It can save up to 21% in heating costs and also contributes to the environment by reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

A heated tent was installed in the laboratory with the recommended winter temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.

Inside it lies a special mannequin dressed in pajamas like a human and covered with a duvet.

When I measured the thermal insulation required to maintain 35℃, which is similar to human body temperature, the average is 1 clo (1.00 clo).

The insulation effect was better than the winter coat (0.70 clo).

The air temperature inside the heating tent was also 3℃ higher than outside the tent.

According to the results of the Korea Energy Agency’s research service, it is a figure that can save up to 21% in heating costs.

This time, the Korea Consumer Agency tested and evaluated 7 heating tent products that are sold a lot in the market.

All of them were rated as excellent with 3 stars in terms of thermal insulation.

Even following washing, the product was not deformed or harmful substances exceeding the standard were not detected.

However, there was a slight difference in the strength of the frame or durability of the tent.

There was also a company that incorrectly labeled it as a flame retardant product that does not burn well.
