26°C for me. I live with my son & he enjoys wearing as little as possible at home. Cold also makes him feel depressed. I’m alright with both hot and cold.

I wish I could tell you but our 1960s thermostat not only has wild up to 5°c temperature swings but does it's own thing once we go to bed And just sweats us out at 27-28 (even though I set it around 20) until I turn it down to 18 at which point it goes down to 15 or below. I'd prefer 18-20 while I sleep. But apparently that's not an option in our house.

And SET at 26c? I'm sorry, but you're the responsible adult in that relationship. He can put on a t-shirt and pants.

Between 69 and 73 F

Or

20.5 to 22.77 c

Usually at 71 during the day and 68 at night

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

60 degrees Fahrenheit. The lowest I can go as part of my lease so the pipes don't freeze. I supplement with a portable heater and a heated blanket. Trying to keep the bill low. 👍🏾

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

25°, but I have direct ventilation that causes drafts, and I have district heating so heating is cheap.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Whatever it is outside. I like the cold and I also can't stand the smell heaters make.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Idk, I just crank my heater to 3 and let it rip

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Idk, I rarely turn the radiator on at all. Even if it means sleeping with multiple blankets, it's much more cozy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Even if it means sleeping with multiple blankets, it’s much more cozy.

There is something to be said for having a giant pile of blankets on top of you. Growing up I would round up spare blankets and crack the window open in the winter until a balance was achieved between however many blankets I scrounged and the room temperature.

Also means you can dynamically trade blankets for a hoodie, then move a blanket more down, because you're wearing a cute skirt (mainly during the day, when you're just a bit tired or want to binge watch something), and remove a blanket because you're cuddling sharks.

I would feel so uncomfortable at 26C inside. 21 at most for me.

Currently around 0 outside, we're running with the heat off at the moment, because it's not strictly speaking necessary yet. In practice it lands at around 20 C inside right now, and the lower bound I accept is 18, after which I turn on heating. Let's see whether it becomes necessary this winter.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Not sure, but water temps on my PCs loop says 18c

[–] lemmy 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Depends on the weather outside and the insulation in my apartment, since I don't turn the heater on.

Probably around 10-15 C

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The heating thermostat is now set at 16°C (~61°F) year round. It doesn't come on if the ambient temperature is higher. No AC. I would set it lower due to the expense but my feet are like ice most days as it is. For nights it's set to 14°C (~57°F).

16 is actually the minimum allowed in workplaces here. I'm fairly sure it used to be 17, but I guess financial pressures might have caused employers to demand it be lowered.

As to where I'd prefer it to be, around 19°C (~66°F) would be nice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I have 19°C for daytime, 17°C at night and I admit it's quite comfortable overall. But me and my partner's feet still feel cold though, so it might be partly due to the actual temperature, partly due to a psychological bias that makes them feel really cold since they are way colder than the rest of the body.

The usual temperature around me (center of France), at work and as default on devices, is 20-21. I never thought about what it was in other climates, I guess you are in a colder region than me, or that energy is too expensive. Maybe I'll lower a bit more my actual temperature target

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Combination of factors: The UK, so climate is colder. The UK again, so energy prices are ridiculous even when a homeowner can support themselves. I'm no longer able to support myself and am reliant on government assistance. Result: Cold.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Set your thermostat cooler in winter and warmer in summer, that way you are nicely adapted and outside seems friendly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

17.5C typically, but we have blankets to hide under. I lit the fire tonight though so it's toasty. Drying the air with either the fire or a dehumidifier makes a huge difference.
