Idea: Divert some CPU generated heat to the keyboard and wrist rest of a laptop. Code outside in any season.
These cannot go below a certain temperature, not much below 60F, otherwise dry rot will slowly but permanently damage these buildings in most places (depends on humidity). I suppose if you drop the humidity below a certain point you might get by with pretty low temperatures.
An issue with keeping yourself warm with clothing is some hotspots get too warm, and others too cold. Like the armpits usually get too warm, but your exposed hands too cold. If your slippers have sheep's wool in them, like ugg slippers, then they often sweat a lot or feel a little wet while simultaneously feeling cold at times, or warm enough. Most sweaters are also not designed to keep your armpits a little bit cool…
Are there any good fingerless gloves for typing? I'd like to give them a shot, cold hands are usually what causes me to turn the heat on and I try to use as little heat as I can.
In the US wood construction is the norm for residential buildings.

An alternative is also, as it is mentioned in the article, to warm certain spots in a room instead of the whole of it.

The price is higher compared to cotton or synthetics, but it's possible to find good values by shopping sales. The daily rewards of wool (in every season) are worth the extra effort.

I use a heated desk pad under my keyboard.

Moist air from cooking increases the humidity in the house. The walls of the house are cold, the moisture condenses on the cold walls keeping them damp for the entire winter.
If you're thinking, "but I don't cook soup that much", remember the chemical equation for burning methane with oxygen.
