Wow! -- 68 degrees would be a heat wave for me! I keep my 1800 sq. foot house (built a century ago) at 52-54 degrees. I keep the door closed to one large room (a study/library that I don't use in the winter). I hang a heavy drape at the doorway to the dining room, since I rarely use it except to walk through it to get to my kitchen (in which I spend very little time, since it's so cold, but washing dishes and light cooking do warm me up).

Thanks for adding to this! This is a great point, and I have also seen it work.

Very nice article! In addition to distributing my company's literature to other exhibitors, we also try to pick catchy and colorful giveaway items that are highly visible and make sure as many visitors and exhibitors as possible get them early into the show.
