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:
These pages show an overview of the example. For the full example, open the accompanying notebook HouseHeating.nb.
Using weather data from Mathematica data paclets, compare temperatures inside and outside between Illinois (left) and Arizona (right):
Using electricity cost data from Wolfram|Alpha, analyze the cost of different indoor temperatures, depending on heating strategies:
