Consumer Agency: "Indoor Temperature Rises by 3℃ When Using Heating Tents"

7 Heating Tent Products Tested and Evaluated for 'Thermal Insulation, Energy Saving, Durability, and Safety'

Heating Tent Insulation Effect Experiment.

[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Joo Sang-don] It has been found that installing heating tents indoors during the cold winter season raises the internal air temperature by 3℃, resulting in energy-saving effects.

On the 11th, the Korea Consumer Agency disclosed the results of tests and evaluations on seven heating tent brand products, assessing insulation performance, energy savings, durability, and safety.

According to the test results, when measuring insulation under sleep conditions similar to actual use (20℃, topper, blanket, pajamas), all seven products?Decoview (Premium), Ddaddeuthan Jip (Real Fabric), Ddasumi (Fabric), Ddasup (Premium), Bebedeco (Very One-touch), Alfrang (Luxury), and Kazmi (Premium Fabric)?showed excellent core performance in insulation effect.

When using an electric heating pad at an indoor temperature of 20℃, installing a tent raises the internal air temperature to about 23℃, approximately 3℃ higher than without using the tent, enabling energy savings through heating temperature control. Lowering the indoor temperature by 1℃ reduces heating costs by 7% and decreases carbon dioxide emissions by 10%.

There were differences among products in frame strength, which indicates the sturdiness of the frame supporting the heating tent, and in the fabric’s resistance to tensile (pulling) and tear forces. Frame strength was relatively superior in three products: Ddasumi (Fabric), Alfrang (Luxury), and Kazmi (Premium Fabric).

However, all seven tested products partially omitted labeling items required under the Electrical Appliances and Household Goods Safety Control Act, indicating a need for labeling improvements. Six companies (excluding one discontinued product) plan to improve product labeling.

A representative from the Consumer Agency stated, "All products showed excellent insulation effects, and using heating tents raised the internal air temperature by about 3℃ compared to not using them, demonstrating energy-saving effects. However, frame strength and fabric tensile and tear strength varied by product, and all tested products omitted some labeling items, so improvements are necessary."
