Karel, you got it! "Room temperature" here in the States is 68 degrees
Fahrenheit (plus or minus 10 degrees, almost never minus).

Additional point of data: a quick survey of my office mates indicates that
75 degF +/- 3 degF is considered a "comfortable short-sleeve room
temperature". Less than 72 is slightly chilly (requires long sleeve shirt
and possibly light sweater), while more than 78 is slightly warm (requires
small fans and possibly well-chilled beverages). YMMV (and probably will).
