    How many of you would be comfortable at those temps?

    Why do you suppose Energy Star is going down this path?

    I'm OK at 75 degrees with zero humidity during the day, depending on what I'm doing. If I'm cleaning then I prefer it cooler and I sleep better at 68-72 degrees or colder.

    I guess it is largely related to where you live. If it gets under 70 in my house I'm hot. On the other hand without the winter draft the 64 degrees my house sits at right now is perfect.

    74 F in the summer, which is still a bit sticky due to consistently high humidity. My utility bill says I'm consistently using less energy than my neighbors.
