I basically do as you do, but in summer the thermostat goes down to 74 at night. Can't sleep in the heat. Higher during the day though both summer and winter.

I spent 20 years in govt office buildings. I concluded that when a contractor builds a govt building, he is told to deliberately screw up the environmental control system, and make it irreparable. In the winter you usually had to open windows to keep from frying. In summer, you either froze to death from too much A.C., or burned up from complete lack thereof. They never got it right. There was a tremendous waste of energy especially in the older cold war era buildings.

Like I said in another thread this week, I better start seeing some bulletproof Priuses rolling out of the Whitehouse in the next couple of weeks or I'm calling b.s.
