I ADORE AC. I run mine year round. If it were not for the fact that my Father, who is elderly and always chilled, lives with us, the entire house would never be any warmer than 62 degrees no matter what time of year. As it is, I have it locked at 68 degrees, much though he whinges. I got him electric thermal underwear for Xmas. And when we lived in our other abodes, the thermostat *was* set there all the time.
I can't sleep when it is stuffy and hot, no air is circulating, and I'm not covered by at least a sheet and blanket. So there.
Even in an office environment, or rather - especially, as computer equipment not only generates heat, it doesn't operate well in high temps - 68 degrees F is as high as the thermostat should ever be set. (And you little skinny cold people - do not come whinging to me. Buy clothing with sleeves.)
Frankly, if someone can't deal with anything under 70 degrees, and they really are that cold, they need see a doctor, buy thermal underwear, put on a sweater, and shut up. It is much easier to layer UP, than down: I cannot take clothes off without frightening people and being arrested.
I have never, understood people who would rather sit around being stinky *and* sweaty because they don't like AC. Ohhh - there's an attractive combo. One of the reasons I adore my lifepartner is that she likes rooms to be even colder than I do *G*. (And one of the many reasons my ex-husband is an EX, is because he whined every time I turned on the air conditioning).
