Remote office roommates: 24-hour air conditioning leads to sky-high electricity bills, temperature settings trigger a cold war

事情的背景
Two roommates encountered a sharp increase in electricity bills and temperature control conflicts during the summer. A, a programmer, works from home in the living room/bedroom all day with the air conditioning set to 18 degrees; B, an office worker, feels freezing when returning home at night and often catches a cold.
发生了什么
At the end of the month, they received a high electricity bill of 1,500 yuan. B refused to split it 50/50 as is traditional, demanding that A cover 70% of the bill and raise the temperature; A believes that the house's baseline power consumption is difficult to precisely distinguish and that they already pay higher rent.
A believes that the living room and public areas are for common use and that they cover a larger portion of the rent for the secondary bedroom, so electricity should be split 6:4, and the temperature should be kept at 22 degrees.
B believes that A exclusively uses the air conditioning during the day and sets it too low, so the excess summer electricity bill should be split 7:3, and the temperature must not be lower than 25 degrees.
调解如何展开
The AI mediator listed a tiered calculation table for baseline power consumption and excess power consumption to help both parties distinguish between 'public power consumption' and 'personal preference power consumption'.
最后的结果
Both parties agreed to split the 500 yuan baseline electricity bill equally, and A will cover 75% of the excess portion; at the same time, A will purchase an independent soundproof and blackout curtain for the bedroom, and the temperature in public areas will be fixed at 24 degrees.

it is so everyday that it is true.
They can even argue about this, it is so lifelike.
they are both somewhat right.
End not expected, good that they have agreed.
this is so petty it's real.
Both sides have a point, after reading it I am not taking a firm stance.
It made me laugh out loud, and in the end it still wrapped up with having a meal.

I'm keeping it, just in case.
It's like a real person argument, not a marketing draft.

Small things like this can easily escalate into big issues; they handled it okay.

For reference, in case things get complicated again.

I am saving this for later.
saving this for the next awkward group chat.

too much of life.
Quarreling over something like this feels very domestic.
too much of the daily routine.

Rational communication is the only way out to resolve conflicts, and I support this mutual authorization to publish cases in this manner!
The mediation plan is very operable, balancing legal rights and responsibilities while preserving each other's dignity.
Fighting over something like this feels so realistic.
