74 in the summer and 68 in the winter. Before I met my wife I would keep it at 60 in the winter but she wasn't having it lol (heating oil is expensive). I didn't have central air so my bedroom (window unit) I'd keep at 68-70.

75 summer, 71 winter. Would love to conserve more but my body is a picky jerk.
I'd like to have it at 71f, but it's not going to happen. After a $$$ AC repair i can now get down to 74 instead of 78. Usually around 68-70 in the winter. How come it's always so hot indoors when i go to places with a cold climate?
19C in the winter, around 28C in the summer. It helps that in the winter I just keep a space heater near me (I get cold and turn it on at what a thermometer in my room calls 19C).
Summer time - 75F during the day, 72F at night. Winter time - 68F during the day, 62F at night.
I live in the Midwest US
76 in the summer and 68 in the winter
We're in Canada so we use Celsius but I'll convert for our farenheit friends:
23C/73.4F most of the time we try to keep the heat/AC off in spring/fall when it makes sense to do so.... We seem to generate a lot of heat inside (we have a lot of computers in the house) so it has to be quite a bit cooler outside to justify opening windows. something like 16C/60F, then between the heat from everything inside and the cold outside, we tend to keep rather comfortable.
My last place was an apartment and we didn't have control over the heating. Whenever it was on, we were cooking, so we left all the windows open all winter (the super knew about the situation and recommended we do this). The valves for the baseboard heaters were extremely old, didn't have knobs, and the super said he could try to adjust them, but there's a decent chance that they could snap and flood the apartment. Nobody wanted that, so we just left the windows open. For summer, I only turned on our AC at the apartment after the haters shut off. I wasn't going to pay to run AC to cool the place down while they were actively heating it up.... I'm glad we don't live there anymore because of that, though, everything else about the place was stellar. The landlord tried to get the owner to Green light the replacement of the valves while the system was not in use (namely in summer when they turned it off) since it would be easy to drain the system and do the work, but they didn't, so year after year, Windows open in winter. It kinda sucked, but we did what we had to. I installed a netatmo temperature system and at times in the dead of winter with all the windows open, the inside temps would read in excess of 30C/86F which wasn't fun. Hanging around in boxers with all the windows open in the dead of winter, and still sweating by doing nothing at all, wasn't great.
My new place has it's problems with airflow, but it's much better overall.
70F set it and forget about it until i woke up freezing at the middle of a night.
I usually do 19C in the winter, and 24C in the summer, my parents do 22C (72F?) year around
I live in a campervan and so have no temperature control in the traditional sense. Closest thing would be the Maxxfan with thermostatic fan control and it's set to 68F. As long as external temps are lower than internal temps it does a reasonable job.
Currently set to 67F (19.4C) for heating, and I don't have air conditioning but would probably keep it around 76F (24C).The weather here is mild enough that we usually don't need AC in summer.
We're starting to have more and more hot days during summer though, so I'm getting the gas furnace replaced with a heat pump HVAC (which is the term Americans use for a reverse cycle air conditioner) this week. The furnace is 22 years old so it was due for a replacement anyways. I had an 11.2kW solar system installed earlier this year, so I'm trying to move away from gas appliances.
I have an evaporative cooler it really doesn't have temperature control. It is kind of whatever the outside temperature is -20f degrees with 75% humidity.
I'm in Denver Summer: 80Β° in the day, 70Β° at night Winter: 73Β° in the day, 63Β° at night
Just moved into a house with ac for the first time and it is well insulated and lots of shade from trees. At night before bed I set it to 68, and in the morning I set it to 74. Even when we had 100 degree days it never got above 73 inside, so basically I only run the AC at night.
25.5 C (78F) in the summer, 21 C (71F) in the winter
I don't have AC and haven't really needed it this year. I'm way north in New Hampshire.
We keep the heat at 63-65f(about 17c) in the winter, but occasionally go up to 67 when it's warmer out and the furnace doesn't have to work as hard to keep it there.
68-75. This means if it's between those numbers, the HVAC doesn't turn on.
Usually 72Β° F / 22.22Β°C. But my wife likes to turn it down on the really hot days were the AC doesnβt quite keep up. I try to explain the AC is running all out, turning it down does not help. And we certainly do not have one of the high end units that can throttle, it is either on or off.
75 in the summer and 68 in the winter
76F in the summer, 72F during the day in the winter, 68F at night in the winter.
Mine is set at 80 degrees during the summer. During the winter it is at 60 or maybe 65. I live in an over 100 year old dog trot style house in Alabama with only attic insulation and the original single pane double hung windows.
