I believe the idea from above poster is not that you should stop heating and "live like a caveman", but that many people would make great savings by wearing a wool sweater on top of their t-shirt and turning the temp down a couple degrees. As a case in point, I never spent a winter with 22°c indoors, usually it's around 18-19°c.

That being said, as someone else said, controlling humidity is also a concern for the long-term viability of buildings.

Anything under 21 during night for me makes it uncomfortable to sleep. At 22 for me it is the perfect temperature and in the winter I wear a normal clothes, too cold for t-shirts at 22.

Jesus, I got uncomfortable just reading this. 21 at night would be insufferable for us (we’re in western Canada).

17 at night, 19.5 during the day is as hot as our house has ever been in winter; though with a new baby I suspect that might change by 0.5 for a while.
