• More HVAC zones are always good

    -

Microprocessors have turned the Rube Goldberg thermostat of the '50's into a little computer that can be programmed to respond to your use patterns — and the plants that heat and cool your air have much simpler and more effective ways to divide their energy distribution to each and every space in your house. No matter what climate you are in, no matter what walls face what compass point, no matter what the layout of your home, more thermostats equal less energy consumption.

This is a continuing series by author and architect Duo Dickinson.
