Brownstone: No Heat Needed!

We just went away and left our brownstone for two weeks. We turned off all the heat. The only appliance making heat was the fridge. And while we were gone NY got hit with one of the worst snow storms in history.

How cold was our home when we came back? A balmy 60 degrees. Not bad considering there was ice on the door step. I believe it is because we insulated the house so well and designed for solar heat.
