26°C for me. I live with my son & he enjoys wearing as little as possible at home. Cold also makes him feel depressed. I’m alright with both hot and cold.

The heating thermostat is now set at 16°C (~61°F) year round. It doesn’t come on if the ambient temperature is higher. No AC. I would set it lower due to the expense but my feet are like ice most days as it is. For nights it’s set to 14°C (~57°F).
16 is actually the minimum allowed in workplaces here. I’m fairly sure it used to be 17, but I guess financial pressures might have caused employers to demand it be lowered.
As to where I’d prefer it to be, around 19°C (~66°F) would be nice.
I have 19°C for daytime, 17°C at night and I admit it’s quite comfortable overall. But me and my partner’s feet still feel cold though, so it might be partly due to the actual temperature, partly due to a psychological bias that makes them feel really cold since they are way colder than the rest of the body.
The usual temperature around me (center of France), at work and as default on devices, is 20-21. I never thought about what it was in other climates, I guess you are in a colder region than me, or that energy is too expensive. Maybe I’ll lower a bit more my actual temperature target
Combination of factors: The UK, so climate is colder. The UK again, so energy prices are ridiculous even when a homeowner can support themselves. I’m no longer able to support myself and am reliant on government assistance. Result: Cold.
