regulation changes have your sayDuring Alert Level 3, the Ministry increased the minimum room temperature to 18 degrees but at Alert Level this is no longer a requirement.

The Ministry is interested in feedback on this before changing the licensing criteria to permanently increase the minimum temperature from 16 to 18 degrees.
