hmmm interesting replies...

i'm just pushing my limits down a little lower than wat it really is in the winter, but to be on the safe side, i say 16*C. mainly b/c if i'm not home in the wintertime to turn on the space heater, it can get quite chilly if itz like -20*C outside, even with the central heating on.

my room is quite the weird climate especially in wintertime, a large diurnal differences, and in the summer, fair constant temps.

anybody else's 0.02?
