Information
House Heating: Compare Energy Consumption
Introduction
This model is of a house with four rooms. It models the temperature changes, including a radiator in each room, controlled by a single thermostat. The model also incorporates the notion of changing outside temperature.
In order to get the full experience of this example, you need the following:
- A desktop Wolfram Language product; a free trial download is available at www.wolfram.com/mathematica/trial/
- The HouseHeating.nb notebook that came in the same bundle as this model
These pages show an overview of the example. For the full example, open the accompanying notebook HouseHeating.nb.
Compare Locations
Using weather data from Mathematica data paclets, compare temperatures inside and outside between Illinois (left) and Arizona (right):
Electricity Usage and Cost
Using electricity cost data from Wolfram|Alpha, analyze the cost of different indoor temperatures, depending on heating strategies:
