There's a new report out from Energy Star, which is the EPA program that promotes energy efficiency. They have new recommendations for where you should be setting your thermostat. Ready to flip?
- 78 degrees when you're home.
- 85 when you're not home.
- 82 at night.
No. Just no. Once a reporter from CBS Tampa tweeted this, the Internet went crazy.
