[Shop-talk] Multi zone heating....?

[Trevor Boicey]

   I saw a bit of chatting about this in the archives in July, just 
wondering if any further knowledge could be shared.

   I just moved to a house that is a certifiable energy pig, almost 
$4000/y in oil to heat.

   I of course will also be pursuing traditional solutions, like 
insulation and such, but I am also interested in zoning it to be able to 
keep some of the areas at lower temperatures. There is a sunroom that 
doesn't need to be heated nearly as much, perhaps the basement could go 
colder at night, etc.

   Any insight? I am looking at the Honeywell Envirazone systems, 
probably three zones at first but likely quickly go to six.
