Agree on the aircon setting though, It has taken me some years but I have managed to talk my wife up from 21 degrees to 24 and I am working on 26. I have not quite gotten my point across that the point where that 24 degrees is measured is up at the roof and the hottest part of the room yet. We seem to be the opposite of normal households where I want the temp warmer than my wife does.
An air conditioning engineer once told me that domestic units can only lower the room temp by about 10 degrees, and if the thermostat is set lower than that temperature differential, the machine is only working harder for no further gain.
Even if its 40 degrees outside, I set my unit to 24 degrees and I find that very satisfactory
