<p>A heating control system for buildings comprises at least one heater 18, 19 incorporating heat storage means 18a, 19a, a first sensor 22 for detecting temperature within the building, means for setting a demand temperature, a second sensor for detecting outside temperature, a timer, and means 26 for determining the switch on time of the heat storage means 18a, 19a on the basis of the demand temperature and the internal and external temperatures. The system may additionally base the switch on time of the storage heater(s) on the heating and cooling rates of the building (as determined from the sensed temperatures); or on the anticipated daytime temperature (determined from the sensed night time temperature). As shown, a house has bedrooms 12, 13 with direct heaters 16, 17 controlled by temperature sensors 20, 21; and living rooms 14, 15 with both storage heaters 18a, 19a and direct heaters 18b, 19b. <IMAGE></p> |
