> Even in less temperate locales I wonder if we really need to define our environment to within single degree Fahrenheit. I am not so controlling, but I do want to take back the rooftops from those horrible HVAC units. I understand that the temperature is usually pretty nice in LA, but here in Iowa temperature control isn't an issue of defining our environment to within a single degree Fahrenheit, it is an issue of defining out environment into a livable temperature. Heck, most people I know have up to a ten degree delta between what they keep their home at in summer vs. winter. However, without temperature control at all in Iowa, people would die. Sub-zero temperatures in the winter and above 100 degree heat in the summer are not mild inconveniences.
