Title. We keep ours at 75F, parents do 77F, and in laws 68F. It made me curious what everyone else keeps theirs at?

To save energy, I set my AC at 28℃ in the summer, for a couple of hours in the afternoon. In the winter if my room temperature wasn't below 8℃ I don't use heating. Otherwise I set it to 12℃.

Apparently I don't understand the very energy consuming 20℃ summers/winters.

When I lived in England, I felt like I was going to freeze if it got colder than 17°C, usually had the heat set to 19°C. During the summer, probably around 22-24°C.

I now live in Phoenix, AZ, and set it at about 65°F in winter and 74°F in summer.

My area also has high humidity, 12°C is indeed freezing. We add lots of layers...
