Europe drastically cut its energy consumption this winter

I am an energy-guzzling American and even for me 24.5C seems crazy in the winter time. That's 76F! My elderly grandmother (who has circulation issues and so is always cold) keeps her heat at 72F. Why would anyone want to wear shorts indoors when they will have to change them anyway to leave the house while it's 10F (-12C) outside? Seems like you're just wasting energy to inconvenience yourself?

Shorts are comfortable and I'm not OP, 22-23 is enough for me.

The first thing when I come home is to change out of jeans and co and into more comfortable clothes.

There are few clothes more comfortable than a t-shirt and shorts.

Wearing shorts is a bit declasse.

24.5 is my target point. Considering hysteresis, the actual temperature varies between 23.5 and 25.5.
