In the summer? I have no AC at my house but it doesn't usually go above 77 - 80 on it's own. It's in a unique part of the city where we're surrounded by the woods and trees which provide a lot of shade and cool the air. Also the house is built into the side of a mountain and surrounded by massive retaining walls, so the first floor is basically a story underground. Our bedroom is also on the first floor, so I don't really go upstairs except to do laundry.
In the winter, usually about 64 - 67. It goes down to 60 during the day on a schedule or whatever.
The simplified version
Summer: Day: 76°F (24°C), Night: 73°F (22°C)
Winter: Day: 78°F (25°C), Night: 73°F (22°C)
68F-72F in summer 66ish in the winter. In live in the South East United States and humidity is a bitch
With ceiling fans on in every room
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.
27?! I would actually die. We keep ours at 19.
I like to keep my home at 16°C (60.8°F) when possible. Summers are hell.
That sounds awesome!

In which CGPGrey discusses ordering parts to replace inside of hotel A/Cs so that he set the room temp to 16º. Quite chilly, btw, why do you need that??
76F in the summer, 72F during the day in the winter, 68F at night in the winter.
In the summer 78F during the day but I spend most of that time in the basement because that's where my office is and 68F at night to sleep.
During the winter 68F all day err' day
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.
75 in the summer and 68 in the winter
68-75. This means if it's between those numbers, the HVAC doesn't turn on.
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.
I'm in Denver Summer: 80° in the day, 70° at night Winter: 73° in the day, 63° at night
Cincinnati. 66 at night 70 during the day during the summer, sometimes 72.
Winter 70-72 all the time.
There is no one right temperature — it depends on the humidity. In the winter I often have heat at 71. In the summer 68.
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
In winter I light the fire, in summer I open the windows, the temperature range goes from chilly to toasty. I don't have exact numbers on that.
Minimum, but it still doesn't get below 23C in the winter
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.
65° while I sleep, 68°-70° while I'm home, off while I'm not
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.
25.5 C (78F) in the summer, 21 C (71F) in the winter
