Maximum temperatures below 15 degrees are expected for April 22nd and for the entire following week. A recent ordinance by Mayor Andrea Orlandi required the heating systems to be turned off starting from 8 April 2024, but this perspective requires an update of what is indicated.
Having noted that the Municipality of Rho is included in climate zone E of the art. 4 of Presidential Decree n. 74 of 2013 for which a maximum operating time of 14 hours per day is envisaged between 15 October and 15 April and that outside of these periods and without any further provision from the Authorities, the heating systems can only be activated in presence of climatic situations that justify its operation, for a daily duration not exceeding half of that allowed ordinarily, the possibility of switching on is activated for a maximum of seven hours between 5 am and 11 pm of each day.
The following cases are not subject to limitations:
a) buildings used for offices and commercial activities or similar, limited to the parts used for services without daily interruption of activities;
b) heating systems that use heat from cogeneration plants with combined production of electricity and heat;
c) heating systems that use radiant panel heating systems embedded in the masonry;
d) heating systems serving one or more buildings equipped with a primary circuit, aimed exclusively at powering the buildings referred to in the exemptions provided for in paragraph 5, for the production of hot water for hygienic and sanitary uses, as well as for the purpose of maintaining the temperature of the water in the primary circuit to the value necessary to guarantee the functioning of the secondary circuits within the expected times;
e) heating systems serving multiple residential and similar real estate units, equipped with a thermoregulatory unit driven by an external temperature detection probe with programmer that allows the regulation of the room temperature on at least two levels over a 24-hour period; these systems can be operated continuously as long as the daily programmer is calibrated and sealed to reach a room temperature of 16°C + 2°C tolerance in the hours outside the daily duration of activation;
f) heating systems serving multiple residential and similar real estate units on which a heat accounting system and a thermoregulation system for the room temperature of the real estate unit itself, equipped with a programmer, are installed and functioning in each individual real estate unit which allows the regulation of said temperature on at least two levels within 24 hours; the programmer must in any case be programmed in such a way as not to exceed the maximum daily hourly activation limit for the individual property unit;
g) heating systems for individual residential and similar real estate units equipped with a room temperature thermoregulation system with a daily programmer that allows the regulation of said temperature on at least two levels within 24 hours as well as the switching off of the heat generator based on the user needs, provided that the programmer is programmed in such a way as not to exceed the maximum daily hourly activation limit;
h) heating systems conducted through “energy service contracts” or “energy performance contracts”, where the fees are related to the achievement of environmental comfort within the limits permitted by the device.
