Depends on the room. Most rooms are set between 20 and 22 degrees C. There's no possible source you can cite. Room temperature is the temperature of the room.

There is no exact measurement for room temperature. Most sources use 22 degrees C as a normal temperature, but there is no recognized standard.
In chemistry, such as used on Material Safety Data Sheets, where changes in temperature and pressure can have an effect on the properties of different chemicals or reactions, the international standard for temperature and pressure (STP) is 273 Kelvin, or 0 degrees Celsius, and 1 atmosphere.
This can make a big difference with some materials when people mistakenly assume that Standard temperature and pressure refers to room temperature. For example, dimethylamine is volatile liquid at STP, but its boiling point is 7 degrees C, so it is a gas at room temperature.

Definitions of room temperature on the Web:
* This is an often quoted figure of around 20°C.
www.air-conditioning-directory.co.uk/glossary.htm
* used colloquially to mean the ordinary temperature one is accustomed to find in dwellings. Technically it can mean the temperature of (l) a room in which a refrigerator is being operated or tested; (2) a room being conditioned for the occupant's comfort

* It's the temperature at which red wine is served. A hundred years ago homes were much cooler and room temperature was 16 -17°C, which is ideal for wine.

* the normal temperature of room in which people live

* Room temperature, in laboratory reports, is taken to be roughly 21–23 degrees Celsius (70–73 degrees Fahrenheit), or 294–296 kelvins. The "standard" room temperature is 22 °C (72 °F or 295 K).

There is no exact room temperature. Generally though. temperatures from 21-23 degrees are used.

Degrees Celsius equals (F-32) * 5/9. 72 degrees Fahrenheit is 22.2 degrees Celsius.
