SOME RECENT RESEARCH INTO HOME HEATING

Abstract
As part of an investigation into the performance of heating systems and the effectiveness of energy saving measures, temperatures have been monitored in forty centrally heated homes.The addition of extra insulation had no effect on the way people operated their heating system or on the temperature level set in the main living room. However, bedrooms were warmer and the importance of individual room temperature controls demonstrated.Differences between people's thermal requirements in domestic and office environments are considered.
