Abstract
Two systems are described for controlling the direct electric heating of houses in terms of the heat requirements room by room. Both systems meet standards for heating comfort, reliability, economy, and safety. The first system uses central control units with a limiting thermostat in each room to control the maximum room temperature. The second is an individual control system which regulates the temperature of each room directly. Both systems achieve the desired result of comfort and economy in electric heating. The central control system is advantageous for adding room control to existing electric heating systems. The second, individual control system is recommended for new installations. (LCL)
