In Milan, the administration established a two-phase approach starting October 15. A transitional phase allows for 8 hours of daily heating, moving to a standard regime of 13 hours per day starting October 31. Temperature caps are set at 19 degrees Celsius for residential buildings and 18 degrees Celsius for industrial and artisanal activities. In the Turin area, unseasonably mild weather has led to adjustments. The mayor of Turin postponed the start of the heating season to October 19, 2026, due to temperatures exceeding the seasonal average. Similar to Milan, Turin has set a 13-hour daily limit and specific temperature caps, though hospitals, schools, and care homes are exempt. In Bresso, local officials have requested that citizens and businesses delay activating heating systems to reduce unnecessary costs and energy use. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-16: Turin and Bresso delay heating season due to mild weather Authorities in Turin and Bresso are delaying or advising against the activation of heating systems due to unseasonably mild temperatures and to manage energy costs. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/turin-and-bresso-delay-heating-season-due-to-mild-weather ### 2026-10-09: Milan introduces new heating regulations and schedules Milan is introducing new heating regulations starting October 15, featuring a two-phase rollout to manage energy use and reduce emissions through specific daily hour limits and temperature caps. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/milan-introduces-new-heating-regulations-and-schedules --- Cite as: Italian municipal heating regulations.
