I agree saak, my tolerance to heat is low so I am very grateful for aircon etc. I do save money on heating in the winter though. I always think its easier to keep warm than cool.

Totally agree with you Ana. Nothing we can do about the heat but if we have aircon at least we can breathe whilst wearing a cardigan.

Wish I had air con in my car - I was nearly passing out with the heat today!

Can't aircon be turned up or down these days? We have an inbuilt temperature gauge on ours at work so the temperature stays to a certain constant.

I also think, just as in the heat, people have their own tolerance.

You can't please all of the people all of the time and find aircon a bit of a blessing most of the time.

My daughter had a t-shirt and sweatshirt on in the shop she works in today it was so cold with the aircon

When we were in Florida it was so unbearably hot some days, so we were grateful for the air/con whenever we got back to our apartment......until we went rushing for a cardigan after about 10 minutes! Surely it can be set at such a level as to be comfortably cool without getting frozen?

I could not agree more. I am going out for lunch on Sunday, I would not normally need a cardigan because I am certain it will be very warm but indoors I also will probably be shivering. Such a waste of money.

It sizzling out there so glad of the aircon in the car, BUT close to hypothermia at the emergency vets last night with my friend and her dog, actually shivering, and as for the supermarket shop today I genuinely wished I had brought a sweater!

Is there no chance of a happy medium?
How much energy is being used in bringing temperatures down to the those of a a medieval cathedral in Winter ??

I have such mixed feelings on this, is it environmentally sound and is it really necessary?
