I was at a friend's house which was set to 54 degrees F (12 C) which is
basically ambient inside temperature for the winter here in California.

He told me that he likes to keep it a bit cool, when I started wondering
what others keep their houses at.

Just by way of a quick survey, what temperature do you normally keep your
living areas at during the active times of the day when people are up and
about?

71 F, 24/7/365, except when the windows are open during the day in mild
weather. Then it may drop as low as 60 F.

Glad to see one as high as mine. Us seniors need higher temps. In
summer with AC ours is set at 75.

We're working toward that. We used to set it at 70 F. I'm surprised
how much difference one degree makes.

I can feel the difference too. It is surprising.
