We're in Canada so we use Celsius but I'll convert for our farenheit friends:

23C/73.4F most of the time we try to keep the heat/AC off in spring/fall when it makes sense to do so.... We seem to generate a lot of heat inside (we have a lot of computers in the house) so it has to be quite a bit cooler outside to justify opening windows. something like 16C/60F, then between the heat from everything inside and the cold outside, we tend to keep rather comfortable.

My last place was an apartment and we didn't have control over the heating. Whenever it was on, we were cooking, so we left all the windows open all winter (the super knew about the situation and recommended we do this). The valves for the baseboard heaters were extremely old, didn't have knobs, and the super said he could try to adjust them, but there's a decent chance that they could snap and flood the apartment. Nobody wanted that, so we just left the windows open. For summer, I only turned on our AC at the apartment after the haters shut off. I wasn't going to pay to run AC to cool the place down while they were actively heating it up.... I'm glad we don't live there anymore because of that, though, everything else about the place was stellar. The landlord tried to get the owner to Green light the replacement of the valves while the system was not in use (namely in summer when they turned it off) since it would be easy to drain the system and do the work, but they didn't, so year after year, Windows open in winter. It kinda sucked, but we did what we had to. I installed a netatmo temperature system and at times in the dead of winter with all the windows open, the inside temps would read in excess of 30C/86F which wasn't fun. Hanging around in boxers with all the windows open in the dead of winter, and still sweating by doing nothing at all, wasn't great.

My new place has it's problems with airflow, but it's much better overall.

77F normally

72 during the day and 68 at night.

Cincinnati. 66 at night 70 during the day during the summer, sometimes 72.

Winter 70-72 all the time.

Chiming in to say comparing thermostat settings between houses is comparing apples to oranges. Your AC is only "on" or "off," changing the thermostat setting only changes how much time it's on vs how much time it's off.

On a 100° day, the HVAC in a well-insulated house with double paned windows and solid weatherization is going to be able to maintain 77° with little effort, where a poorly insulated, leaky house may struggle to even reach 77° with the HVAC running continuously. These two houses may have their thermostats set the same but their internal temperatures and energy usage will be different, maybe even radically different

75 in the summer and 68 in the winter

Minimum, but it still doesn't get below 23C in the winter

25.5 C (78F) in the summer, 21 C (71F) in the winter

Just moved into a house with ac for the first time and it is well insulated and lots of shade from trees. At night before bed I set it to 68, and in the morning I set it to 74. Even when we had 100 degree days it never got above 73 inside, so basically I only run the AC at night.

I like to keep my home at 16°C (60.8°F) when possible. Summers are hell.

For A/C I like it warmer than most office buildings, around 27°C/81°F, which means it's usually off outside of summer heat waves. My current place in Vancouver has no A/C.

Winter the heater's usually at 21°C/70°F.

There is no one right temperature — it depends on the humidity. In the winter I often have heat at 71. In the summer 68.

65° while I sleep, 68°-70° while I'm home, off while I'm not

stays on 73F year round , AC and heat. Average bill runs around $80.

WTF 70s? I'd be roasting.

69 is usually what I keep it at in my car.

Usually 72° F / 22.22°C. But my wife likes to turn it down on the really hot days were the AC doesn’t quite keep up. I try to explain the AC is running all out, turning it down does not help. And we certainly do not have one of the high end units that can throttle, it is either on or off.

76F in the summer, 72F during the day in the winter, 68F at night in the winter.

68-75. This means if it's between those numbers, the HVAC doesn't turn on.

Mine is set at 80 degrees during the summer. During the winter it is at 60 or maybe 65. I live in an over 100 year old dog trot style house in Alabama with only attic insulation and the original single pane double hung windows.

I live in a campervan and so have no temperature control in the traditional sense. Closest thing would be the Maxxfan with thermostatic fan control and it's set to 68F. As long as external temps are lower than internal temps it does a reasonable job.
