What is the required indoor temperature range for summer and winter?

Explanation:
The idea is to pick a temperature range that stays comfortable across both seasons while also being energy mindful. About 65°F in winter gives warmth without wasting energy, and keeping the thermostat from rising above about 85°F in summer helps reduce cooling costs and prevents spaces from getting uncomfortably hot. So a year-round range of 65–85°F balances comfort and efficiency in both seasons. The other ranges either run too cold for summer or too warm for winter, or are narrower and don’t reliably cover typical comfort needs throughout the year.
