I see a lot of people, here and in person, talking about 70F setpoints.
I suspect some of this is bad thermostat placement and/or air infiltrating BEHIND the thermostat... attic air being pulled inside due to negative pressure.
I'm running 75F in summer with the unit on recirc and dehumidify. Blower speed will drop to very little with very cold air coming from registers. This was able to drop indoor humidity 5-10%, down to 45-50%.
If you've got bad circulation, poor returns, air infiltration, etc I can see where some want 70F. Honestly, 75F is as low as I can go w/o people putting on long sleeves when they come over.
But I did, during building, plug all holes for wiring/plumbing w/ foam through the top plate, caulk around the green plate, and use cellulose insulation everywhere. The house is tight.
