What the ideal day & night temperatures?
I live in a very humid part of the U.S.
In the summertime, it can "average" 97 degrees with 92% humidity. Can you say "muggy".
In the wintertime, the humidity is less (only because of the cold) - but a "low" humidity here in the winter is 35% - 40%.
Right now at 10:50 A.M., it is 53 degrees with an outside humitity of 83% and an inside humidity of 45%
83% outside humidity is a little high for 53 degrees, but that is because rain is expected around 3:00 P.M. so the humidity is rising.
I have an automatice thermostat on a central A/C & Heating System.
The winter day temperature is kept at 70 degrees & the night temperature at 68 degrees.
The summer day temperature is kept at 72 degrees & the night temperature at 70 degrees.
The automatic thermostat switches to the day temperature at 8:00 A.M. & to the night temperature at 10:00 P.M.
If I go to bed earlier or if I get up earlier, I can "manually" raise or lower the temperature as needed. Then the temperature will revert to the pre-set temperatures at 8:00 A.M. & 10:00 P.M.
I do use a humidifier year round.
But, in the summer, I sometimes put small chips of ice in it to offset the mug factor.
In the winter, I run the heat on the humidifier at its lowest setting of 1 otherwise it will become too muggy.
And, I run the heat on the humidifier ONLy when it is really cold & the outside humidity is lower.
I do try to save energy when I can by raising the A/C temperature or lowering the heater temperature when I will be out of the house for 2 or more hours.
I would like to hear some of your opinions as to what you think the ideal day & night temperatures are in terms of comfort (NOT for maximum energy efficiency).
