Who heats their house to more than 55F-60F now?

Anybody who doesn't want to freeze to death. You are aware that you can
die
of exposure at 55F, right? -Dave

I've read that an adult male, resting and nude, can die of exposure at 80F.
It isn't only a matter of temperature - the amount of clothing and activity,
among other things, play a big role as well.
