A federal program is taking some serious heat for recommending that home air conditioners be kept at no less than 78 degrees during the spring and summer.
Energy Star, a program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy, said people should set their thermostat to 78 degrees when they are home and "need cooling" in an effort to save energy during the hotter months.
And when you're sleeping or away, the suggested temperatures go up. When sleeping, it's recommended that the thermostat is kept at 82 degrees, and when away, people should set the thermostat to 85 degrees, Energy Star said.

Me putting whoever came up with this to sleep with the thermostat at 82
Posted on 5/11/23 at 12:06 pm to stout
Do any of the people who came up with these numbers actually do this?
I seriously doubt it.

If highs the following day are in the 70s or upper 60s, sure. No problem.
A thermostat set to 82° will never find itself under a roof Louisianans reside.

No, I'd starve before I set my ac that high. Also,
where did that get the notion of setting your ac higher when you sleep? This is how you know this was written by an imbecile.

I’ll counter that idea with setting my AC to frick during the day and Outta Here at night.

Sleep quality drops dramatically when it's too warm.
So why 82 at night?
