Hi...
Might seem a strange question, but is there a way to enhibit the HVAC from coming on for say, X, minutes after it last went off?
I'm trying to avoid short cycling... I think I can effectively do the same thing by using the Run-On Period to make sure I have a certain amount of overshoot.
I'm battling with a loft conversion room that seems to cool down too quickly when the difference between inside & outside is >16-17C (like at the moment). I'm happy to have some overshoot but would like to "enforce" an off-duration between boiler firings. I figure that during the night a variation of 1-1.5C wont really be noticed (or do our baby daughters any harm) and less frequent cycling might be more efficient on the gas (due to system losses) than tracking the setpoint so closely. [if any of that makes sense!]
... this is all a workaround for a bigger radiator and lots of additional insulation!
