Like number 6, we have electric heat and each room is set differently. The downstairs storage room is set at 50F, but heat from the freezer is enough to maintain the temperature, so the heater rarely if ever trips on. Same with the the laundry room upstairs. The secondary bedrooms are set at 14C. Living room/ kitchen and MB are open plan, on one thermostat, set at 15C (60F) during the day, upped to 18C in the evening and turned down again to 15C at bedtime. Office and drafting room is also set at 14C because I think better at that temperature and wear a vest or sweater if I feel chilly and I'm stationary for any length of time. All this gets overridden if I use our BIS Panorama wood burning fireplace. When its going and its above 40F outside, the house gets way too warm and we have to open all interior doors and sometimes a window. Keeps everything except the downstairs at about 72F even with a very modest fire. If it gets really cold (minimum outside temp 18F, we are the Pacific northwest, after all) it will maintain the whole main and upper floor of the house at around 68F. I don't know why, but I find the kind of heat the wood stove produces much more comfortable than electric heat, particularly at higher temperatures. I love my BIS, despite the work.
