[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure what the environmental impact is of 60 vs 65. It would also seem to depend on your house and how drafty it is. If it's not a drafty house and is well insulated, you could probably heat it to 65 and have it stay that way with minimal effort. VS a poorly insulated house that takes a lot of energy just to stay at 60. There are so many factors. I keep my heat at 65 in the winter. Any lower than that and I feel lethargic and just want to sit on the couch in a blanket. Plus yes, my kids (2 and 4) don't really understand the idea of wearing fleece jackets inside the house in winter. And yes, more layers means more laundry, especially if they spill something on it. Daytime I keep the house at 80 in the summer, but I like to have it at least 70 at night time or I can't sleep.[/quote]
