<p>I agree that 68 deg is the norm for cold climates although in some places it would depend on your insulation etc. If insulation & weather stripping are poor- then 68 wouldn’t be enough to be comfortable even with a sweater.</p>
<p>I expect this is not the only issue- there seems to be a disconnect between the roommates- how have you resolved other issues?
You can generally go to your utility website and see what is the typical cost for energy for your sq footage- that should give you an idea if your costs are above standard.</p>
<p>It seems like something else is going on- did you research what expenses were average before you got an apt?</p>
<p>My daughter to my knowledge hasn’t had any trouble with her roommate & she keeps the temp like she is in Tamil Nadu!</p>
