So at work today, the discussion of household heating and gas/electricity bills came up (entering winter Down Under), and I commented that we have our central heating set to 14 Celsius (approx 57 Freedoms) overnight, and off during the day/evening. We find that 14 is quite comfortable under a fluffy doona/duvet. I was warmly mocked (well natured), and informed that something closer to 24C (75F) is appropriate, day and night.
Surely not… right?
I don’t know if our doors seal well enough to maintain any kind of temperature differential between rooms. I had never considered the consequences! It’s kinda humid around the hills though, so we keep windows open during the day to keep fresh air moving around, even during winter (Southern Australia)
