:Editorial comment follows:

:The idea of using several thermostats in a house is VERY OBVIOUS to anyone 

: I don't understand why it isn't obvious to the people who build houses


my house is zoned baseboard.( three thermostats ).  While this was not an
overly expensive system ( see 'this old house' for those... ) it
clearly uses _alot_ more copper than an non-zoned system.
I'll also add the ( somewhat obvious ) point that there is no gain
by having zones that are not pretty well isolated from each other.

if you missed the TOH heater episode, they did up a house with
some 20 zones.  The distribution 'manifold' took up one wall in 
the basement.  I think they had a Cray controling it ( donated of course ).
