Italy is set to ban air conditioning under 25C in certain buildings during the summer months as it looks to keep energy costs down due to the Ukraine war sending prices soaring.

       The plan ？ reportedly dubbed “operation thermostat” ？ was passed through the Italian Senate on Thursday.

       It will prevent public buildings, including government offices and schools, from having air conditioning set below 27C during summer, allowing for a 2C leniency.
