I might have got the message heading wrong but thought I would share this 
observation to expand on the topic earlier this week.

I was reporting on the effects of setting our thermostat back to 16C (60F at 
night. The last two nights it didn't get below freezing, about 2C 35F outside. 
The indoor temperature didn't get down below 19C or about 64F and of course it 
took much less time to bring the house up to temperature in the morning.I would 
conclude that the money saving efficiency would depend a lot on how cold it 
gets, obviously. Clearly we didn't use any gas for heat the last two nights and 
we certainly would have had we not set the temperature back.

The heat wave has sadly passed. When I got into the shower this morning it was 
raining out and a couple of degrees above freezing outside. By the time I got 
out it had dropped 4C and just a little over half an hour later when I got to 
work it had fallen 12C. About 22F drop over about an hour. The rain turned to 
blowing snow with white out conditions and they closed the highways both the 
south highway and the west one and they closed the schools. It was a pretty 
quiet outpatient day at the hospital today.
