setback and comfort temperature?

what is the difference between setback and comfort temperature. my thermostat shows the half moon icon all day
Sue Dee, April 2009
comfort temperature - what temp you have in your rooms when heating on. Most people comfortable with around 21 - 22°.

Setback - what it sits at rest of time. It's generally more efficient to heat a house from "slightly warm already" rather than stone cold, so set your setback temp to about 15°, and around 10° overnight.

This isn't hard n fast, for example my house = naturally cold and draughty and won't hold heat, so no point having setback as high as 15, may as well just have htg on higher when I come in so I just set it to 10 during the day so htg doesn't come on, then 23° in the evenings.
