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.
Bro, what the hell… some people are recreating the Caribbean in their houses while some others try to contribute the least amount possible to climate change. This is why we can’t have nice things.
Maybe OP isn’t properly informed of the energy usage and climate impact of his lifestyle. Some countries do very little to teach this unfortunately.
In France, a few years ago, there was a very large campaign for this exact topic to prevent energy usage spikes that could have brought the grid down. It also served as a way to teach people that 19 is just fine in the winter.
Well at least this rebuke will have a chilling effect.
Jesus Christ 26 would be hot even in the summer
Right? That’s what I’d set my AC to. It’s a balmy 18 in my place now and -4 outside. Problem the lack of daylight leasing to the depression. Pop some vitamin d and put a sweater on. Cozy warm clothes are the best clothes.
18c or 64F?
I was thinking the exact same. I feel wasteful in the summer for keeping it at 23 (73 F). I don’t think I could survive 26 in the winter. Maybe if I had never left Florida, but I doubt it.
Damn 26 is toasty. I get hot if it’s 21 in my home. I warm rooms individually but mostly it’s 19 or 20 degrees. I don’t like to go outside and have too much of a difference.
19.5 on the thermostat, which I’m not sure is accurate. In my opinion comfortable indoor clothes include a sweater or a hoodie, so 26C isn’t just wasteful, it’s very uncomfortable.
Hi there thermostat buddy. 19.5 here too.
26°C would likely give me a headache.
I try to keep the house at around 20°C, and if I’m chilly put a jumper on.
21 C, bedrooms at 19 C
22 or 23°c and 19 for the bedrooms too
During the day usually at 66°F (19°C), maybe bump it up to 68°F (20°C) if we’re feeling unusually chilly still. At night we usually drop it down to 62/63°F (around 17°C).
Holy fuck. Are you all just hanging out in your house wearing your winter coats all day or something? I can’t imagine how uncomfortable that must be
I mean a hoodie and sweat pants and I’m good in those temperatures. I find it easier to warm up than to cool off.
I also heat to like 18-20°C. Just wearing a hoodie is more than enough, most of the time. And for extra warmth while couching maybe a blanket. 26°C would be uncomfortably warm to me, even in just a tshirt. That’s summer temperatures. Above 20°-ish are tshirt temps.
I keep mine at 55-61 F depending on humidity. Hoodie, pants, slippers is all I need.
In winter it’s a very normal thing to be a little cold. If every household on the planet aimed for 26 while it’s 0 outside, the energy needed would to heat up would be gigantic.
As someone else said, you just need some warm clothes and socks and you’re fine at 19 degrees.
Edit : not a parent, so I don’t know if it’d fine for children
I have a big old robe, flannel pajama pants, and slippers I wear around the house in the winter.
A brisk 18 kelvin.
I like, let’s do it in K all the time, just to annoy those folks who insist on C or F.
294K
I‘m more of a 525°R kind of guy
Gotta keep those superconductors running.
26!? Do you live in hell? I start sweating at 19 and at 22 I’m stripping off to my underwear
15C while I’m away, 17C while I’m in. Gas is expensive and my home isn’t that well insulated. I just put on a warm vest and it’s fine by me.
Warm clothes and an electric blanket at night to go to sleep. I keep my body warm not the house.
74F (23C) I grew up in Florida, which is a very warm state. Now I live a good bit farther north, but my body never adjusted to the cold weather. Nice in the summer, as I don’t need the A/C, but the bills in the winter are rough.
65 F or 18.5 C. A little colder at night. It varies as my wife sleeps hot so it depends how warms she is feeling that evening.
26C would make me wake up so hot I’d be vomiting I think
We’re usually at 67F at night, 68 to 70F during the day, but I’m baking so the extra 2 degrees from 68 to 70 is usually from the oven.
A comfortable 16c. 18 if I really want it to get hot.
