IM just curiouse of your thoughts, in my house, it will be 65 outside and I'll look at the thermostat and the heat will be set to 78 degrees :/
This can not be the norm, I've always ran warm and its pretty miserable...

During the winter, 65 during the day and 62 at night. During the summer, we turn on the AC if it looks like it won't cool down below 80 at night, otherwise we open the windows and run fans.

62??? What do you do? Where winter jackets??? I've always thought a good room temperature to be 68-72 year round... A little higher is okay but tinting the furnace on to 78 when it's 65 out is pushing it, whatever happened to just using a blanket? Lol

Our room temperature is somewhere between as cool as I'd like it and as warm as my wife prefers. Closer to the latter, of course,

Room temperature is whatever is comfortable to you. As long as I don't have to pay for it. :-)

A sweater, or a blanket is cheaper than an extra 100-150 gallons a year to keep it at 68-70.

For scientific calculations, room temperature is usually taken to be either 20 or 25 degrees Celsius, 293 or 298 kelvins (K), 68 or 77 degrees Fahrenheit.

I keep my house around 80 in the summer and 75 in the winter. I hate to be cold.

For the purpose of red wine consumption, room temperature is considered 60 - 65 degrees.
For my house, I prefer around 75 F in the Summer and 65ish in the Winter.
I work in computer rooms, so the temperature is around 68 year round.
Long sleeves and jeans in the Summer is kind or a requirement if you want to feel your toes at the end of the day.

It doesn't make a difference what
temperature a room is, it's always
room temperature.

66-68 degrees pretty much all year round.

It should never top 72 degrees at any point. Ever.

I grew up with it. Yes, we wear sweaters, etc. Sometimes we sneak it up to 68.

House temperatures seemed more extreme when I lived in the South for a few years. Hotter in the winter and colder in the summer. People regularly brought a sweater or jacket if they went to a restaurant during the summer in Texas.

I worked at a place like that. I had to keep a long sleeved shirt at work to put on in the summer.

According to a company here in Ottawa, 21C (70F) is room temperature. But in the summer, we just turn the heat off and live with the temperature in the house. We do close it up to keep the heat out during the day and we have awnings. We take the awnings down just before the fall (they are down now).

In the winter, 18C (64F) during the day and 15C (59F) at night. And yes, I wear a long sleeved light flannel shirt during the winter.

Running on Oil Heat? We just moved into a house that has oil heat and we are going to be getting lot's of warm blankets and firing up the fireplace

It's hard to believe that such a small change in temperature can equal such a larger consumption of resources.
