    Yeah seriously, that’s a comfortable sleeping temp when you can snuggle under the blankets to stay warm, but way too cold for daytime use. I’d be pissed if my hotel kept turning down the temperature for no good reason.

      Are you saying 74DEGREESFAHRENHEIT is too cold?? Or has my reading comprehension done its nightly vanishing trick?

        Um, yes? What planet are you from where it isn’t?

        At 74°F, your average HVAC system will have to run 12+ hours a day in peak summer, when it’s 110°+ outside. This is how you get a $400/mo power bill. 76-78° is more reasonable (and more comfortable). This is coming from someone who hates the heat because I sweat a lot.

            Then why even have air conditioning? I would never turn it on with those temps.

            Leave your windows open all night, close them in the morning when you wake up. The residual coolness will keep your house a comfortable temperature all day long. That’s what I do in the spring before the temps hit 100+.
