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 would like to keep it at 21°C, but since I live in one of the top floors of a multi-story building, along with some apparently reptilian downstair neighbours, I can’t get below 26°C…
Edit: typos
I used to have downstairs neighbours like that and I loved it, free underfloor heating, I just opened the windows when I felt it got too warm. Saved me a good bit of money because I basically didn’t have to heat at all.
Yeah, unfortunately in my case we have a central heating system, and the bill is just split based on flat size.
Winter in Madrid, 2019-20, 7th floor, forced heat radiators: me with the windows open and in shorts. Did not enjoy.
69F
This isn’t asl…
Same. Mostly because I’m a child.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Well at least this rebuke will have a chilling effect.
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 a brought the grid down. It also served as a way to teach people that 19 is just fine in the winter.
A brisk 18 kelvin.
Gotta keep those superconductors running.
I like, let’s do it in K all the time, just to annoy those folks who insist on C or F.

I‘m more of a 525°R kind of guy
All rooms have their own thermostat. 19-21°C.
I’d go colder at night, but we have a newborn who doesn’t do blankets yet. Need to keep it kind of even for her sleeping bags.
17 C. I find it comfortable even when lightly dressed. My wife dresses more warmly.
17 C here as well. I used to find it comfortable but as I get older, I’m needing more and more clothes or blankets. I blame my thinning hair.
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.
I don’t really have a choice as heat is provided by my building, and they just keep it on at all times. So in winter it’s pretty much always around 26/27C except when it gets really cold outside and it “drops” a bit. I do like the heat but it’s a bit too much. Sometimes I have to open a window. 24C would suffice.
They even keep the heat on in summer so it can rise up to 35C during sunny days, but I have a portable AC to fight the building’s system and bring it back down to a “cool” 24/25C.
26-27°C is already at the edge of becoming unbearably warm in summer. But 35? Where I live that’s a “hottest week of the year” kind of temperature. I‘d cook to death in my own sweat.
That’s a crime against the environment.
It’s good to see Helll is finally renting apartments to the general public, with this housing market.
19-20°C. Any warmer and I’m melting
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 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.
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 have a big old robe, flannel pajama pants, and slippers I wear around the house in the winter.
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.
26!? Do you live in hell? I start sweating at 19 and at 22 I’m stripping off to my underwear
