Maybe I'll listen to them more when they start paying my electric bill.... Quote How cool do you like to keep your house in the summer? Energy Star, a joint federal program run by the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency, recommends keeping your house at 78 degrees—and that’s when you’re home. It’s all subjective, of course, but does that seem a little on the warm side? If you think so, the recommendations don’t get much better. If you’re not at home and have a programmable thermostat, the guidelines call for setting it at 85 degrees. At night, Energy Star recommends 82 degrees. So to recap, Energy Star’s recommendations are as follows: 78 degrees when you’re home 85 degrees when you’re at work or away *82 degrees when you’re sleeping The Department of Energy says you’ll save about three percent on your utility bill for every degree you raise the set temperature on your thermostat during the summer. https://fox59.com/2019/08/20/energy-star-wants-you-to-keep-your-home-at-78-degrees-in-the-summer/ Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla!

It's a lot harder to cool than it is to heat, leaving your air at 76 day and night will use less electricity than moving it up and down and having to re-cool the house a couple of times a day.

There ya go! 'Tis much more efficient to maintain a cooler temp than to cool it down after it gets set on 85. Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla!

May be if them offices are full of wimmens. You cannot satisfy them in an office setting. 1/2 are always cold, other half are always hot. Regardless of the time of year.
