Elderly and vulnerable
For the prevention of cold related illness and hypothermia
For vulnerable groups, for example the elderly, young children and infants, the disabled and those with a long term medical condition, keeping warm is a priority. The greatest danger to such persons is being unaware of their rooms becoming too cold.
WHY?
Being too cold can lower resistance to illnesses, including bronchial conditions and exacerbating existing medical conditions. In the case of the elderly, exposure to the cold can lead to increased risk of falls and accidents and hypothermia.
The Day-Impex room thermometer is a useful tool to alert the individual when the room becomes too cold. Its design includes the following features.
- Easy to read detailed temperature scale in both F and C
- Too cold zone coloured blue.
- Shows ideal temperature between 18 – 21C.
- Bi-metallic spring and pointer for accuracy and reliability.
- Housed in a robust domed case.
- Self adhesive pad.

Energy efficiency
A practical method of cutting fuel costs and saving energy
Practising energy efficiency is essential for all companies, schools, universities and public buildings. Not only does this reduce the amount of harmful emissions fed into our atmosphere but it can effectively reduce your fuel costs.
WHAT CAN I DO?
Many workplaces are over-heated and uncomfortable. To ensure that your employees work in a pleasantly warm environment, put up an energy saving room thermometer. This will advise when your workplace is at a comfortable ambient temperature between (18-21C) and will alert you when the room is too hot, by pointing to the red side of the dial, which prompts you to lower the room temperature thereby saving fuel costs.
Advice given by Business Link, the Government’s support service for businesses, suggests that each time you turn your heating up 1 degree your fuel costs will increase by 8%.
The Day-Impex room thermometer is a simple design, has an easy to read coloured dial with hairspring and pointer. Supplied with an adhesive pad for positioning where desired.
