You are right about turning the heating down a degree or two flashy, it will save a fair amount. What has to be kept in mind is that as you become older you become less active, the body will not generate much heat.
Help the Agedrecommend 21- 24 C.
What I found surprising is that Hypothermia can be induced by prolonged exposure to indoor temps below 18C ( surprising because I consider that temp to be fairly high ) I Googled it to make sure, seems some other council sites say the danger zone is below 16C ( e.g.Barnet Council)
