One of my good friends is married to a lady that does not like to sweat, and she like the house COLD. They had to buy the largest home AC system on the market and add a second zone for the bedroom. Their house is about 4,500 sq feet and they keep it at 68 in the middle of summer. If we are going over to visit them my wife dresses up in a sweater and wool pants. It looks funny in July, but she is freezing if she wears normal summer clothing. They have a large pool that is heated. They don't heat it unless the grand-kids are coming over. One year they left town and had their adult kids live in the house for the two weeks they were gone. When they got home the pool heater was on simmer and it was cold outside. His gas bill was over a grand. He put a padlock on the pool heater after that.
