Most new homes have a programmable thermostat. You may think it’s set for 80 ( during the day ) but it could be programmed to drop the internal temperature to 70 without your knowledge. This is just an example, not knowing if you can monitor your thermostat remotely or not. I would also check ALL windows to make sure someone hasn’t left one cracked open.
