This Sunday morning we switch to winter time. If it depended on the construction sector, winter time would become permanent. Indeed, it would be lighter early in the morning, but also darker earlier in the evening. Six out of ten construction companies are attracted by this idea, and this figure even increases to seven out of ten companies if we only take into account companies that carry out a lot of work outside, such as structural work or construction. infrastructure works. Thus, by switching to winter time throughout the year, construction companies would have to wait less time to work in daylight. If we were to opt for permanent daylight saving time, it would only be light around ten o’clock in the morning in the middle of winter.
The time change is this weekend: everything you need to know about winter time and the possible new European law
“Maintaining winter time permanently represents the most sensible option for construction,” says Niko Demeester, Managing Director of Embuild. “This best fits the way most construction companies work. Furthermore, we note that construction companies that opt for summer time do so mainly for non-professional reasons, for example to carry out social activities.” Moreover, before 1977, it was winter time which was almost always applied in our country. But the oil crisis encouraged this switch to summer time in 1977.
