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?

Some people must like it rough. I have been creeping my indoor
temperature up from 70 F (21 C) to 75 F (24 C) over the past
few years. A lot of times even that feels cool. During the summer
I keep the temperature at 78 F (26 C) and run the ceiling fans.
They generally take 2 or 3 degrees off of the temperature.

I find a good sweater is a lot cheaper than an extra 5 degrees on
the thermostat.

In the summer we also have a ceiling fan in the kitchen - you can
only take off so much when it gets too warm - - - -
