Default Turn thermostat down or leave steady?

Still, it's less energy used cause less energy is lost.

When you raise it you have to reheat
not only the heating system but the entire inside wall,
floor and
ceiling not to mention all the furniture and appliances.
When you lower
the thermostat, all those items lose all their heat again
the heat is
drawn out into the room and the room loses it through the
walls to the
outside. So....use your little noggin.
