I'd shut the heat off and left the doors open during VCF East, not sure if it was turned back on at some point during the event. Figured with the nice weather, there was no sense in burning gas! Is that acceptable for when the weather is nice?
Yes, that worked well for the weekend you were there. Other times people leave the doors open and the heat/cool is on. That's the troublesome spot. We're cleaning up the back ramp area to allow the easier access and opening on and closing the other can improve on the heat loss (instead of wide open doors).
I'd say if the heat was off, then that was fine, because there was no extra cost. But in the future there will be a locked down temperature control which we can't control, so turning off the heat and leaving the doors open won't be possible once they install a Trane XL824 smart thermostat.
We're working on that. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies
