Good morning CAD'ers!

Today's challenge: Lower that thermostat! Lowering the thermostat even one degree when the heat is on can save 10% of the energy it uses. Maybe being a little chilly will motivate you to move your body as well! :D

    I would but we have no control over the heat. It's set up on the neighbors side of the complex.

    Today the temp is mild, so that's no problem :-)
  • we turned ours way down so it wont kick on at all today! it's a beautiful 62 degrees outside (and i like it chilly in the house anyway) so we have it down to 55 and the back door open (onto our not-so-temperature-proof back porch)

    done, thanks for the challenges, it really helps to motivate us. I hope this one motivates me to move a little more to keep warm or just to get in some extra exercise today:smile:

    Well, I can't do this one. We have a fireplace for heat. It is always hot in the house. like shorts and windows open with a foot of snow on the ground. We have our door wide open some days.

    Challenge completed. That was easy since it's 80 degrees here and the heat was never on in the first place. Lolz!

    I work for our family heating company......would not be a good advert for business if customers walk into a cold office!! :laugh: That's my excuse for keeping the heating on....but I'll turn it down a notch. Currently only on 17C anyway, so not exactly blasting......

    Its 37 outside right now; turned the heat down from 70 to 68 right now, will turn it down lower as it warms up during the day.
