Wow, they are bitching about the thermostat at 68 ... Thats where it is in my home and business both, unless I'm in a good mood and kick it up to 70.
68 is very liveable. Makes me wonder how high they had it set before!
68 is about 15 degrees too cold for me. (But then, my body temperature hovers around 100 all the time. I'm a big lizard.)
We compromise at home. We leave it to about 58/9 unless my daughter is home. Her bedroom is much colder, so we turn it up a little so that she won't freeze to death. I've begun layering to keep warm. Hubby thinks money spent on heat is wasted. We are looking at a 5000 sq ft house that needs a heating system and just the thought of heating it is giving him nightmares. But I definitely want it warmer at work.
68? I keep my home's thermostat at 66.
I can't stand it lower than 76.
Yeah 68 is a little chilly but it is livable especially if you wear layers and drink a hot beverage every now and then.
