Lowest ambient temperature for printing?

Hello!
Winter is coming , it's getting cold and my printer is in its own little room. Heating means money, so I want to heat only as much as needed.
What is the lowest ambient temperature, I have to provide for my printer, without having to worry about warping or similar problems? I just print PLA, nothing fancy...

I believe the printer currently gets fussy at 15 centigrade

Thank you very much for the quick reply!
I will make sure to keep the ambient temperature above 15C.

Note that printer works in lower temperatures just fine (I'm printing on 0-10C). It's just the firmware that prevents printing start because it safeguards against wrong sensor readings.
you can heat it with a hairdryer to reach min temperature...
