One thing that isn't written about in the article is the fact that in the USA people only know one setting for their air conditioning units. People would do great to try a different setting than "make your house a fridge".
- ams6110 10y agoI have this constant conflict with a guy at work. I like the AC at about 78, which is also the coldest I ever set it at home. He walks in and first thing sets it to 70. I find that uncomfortably cool especially if it's 90+ degrees outside. I rarely use the AC in my car, unless I'm on a longish drive and it's really hot.
- pkulak 10y agoI remember when I lived in Phoenix, 80° was a popular setting. Man, did that ever feel great coming in from 110°! Now that I live in Oregon where 82° outside feels too hot, I'll set my indoor thermostat to 74°.
