no central ac. my room ac set at 18c/64f, my parents room at 21c/70f
monthly electric bill : around 600-700 thousand rupiah ($50's)
for my fathers office central ac set at 20c/68f (19c/66f in the basement floor)
Why so low? i would think that in a very hot place like the one where you live in, it wouldn't be necessary to set the AC below, to say, 25ºC, since the inside/outside contrast is already high.
Me too. In fact, I prefer to be warm inside than have it warm outside. (70-75) Still cant put my finger on why yet. Is it cause I'm more active outside?
Larger area of air I need fresh and breathable?
Nice to take a break and step outside for cool air rather than step inside for cool air?
Just interesting weather comes with cooler air?
That's the opposite of what I said. I like warm outside/cool inside.

Oh, you meant the fire was outside? Like a fire pit? Sounded like you like the warmth from a fire inside on a cold day. Which I agreed with. I like being in an A/C cooled building on a hot day just as much a warm building on a cold day.
Anyway ....... 63° inside right now and I am fine...everything open.
There's too many variables guys... 63° inside in the morning without sun, 63° in afternoon with sun is different. Windows, outside temp, wind, humidity, I don't think we can firmly say things without mentioning the variables.
I said 72 during day, 66 at night but 72 during the day is way too warm if its sunny or muggy or no wind.

not overnight. now that I live in (half)-basement with a granite table which keep things cool. 18C A/C only for the first hour of the night, then turned off, but the room temp still hover around 22-23 at 7-8AM (outside around 26-28 with sun). electric bill around 80-100k rupiahs a month ($6-7) now.

I was talking about people who act like cooling a house is somehow worse than warming it. I like hot weather outside but can't tolerate a stuffy room.
