What is Field Evaluation of Programmable Thermostats about?

1) The study evaluated the impact of programmable thermostats on energy use by monitoring thermostats in 20 apartments over four months. 2) Residents generally maintained nighttime setbacks of 3-4°F but often disabled daytime setbacks. Over a third of residents regularly reprogrammed thermostats. 3) Thermostat use reduced estimated gas consumption by 10-15% compared to maintaining a constant temperature. However, comfort and usability could be improved with better designed interfaces and defaults.
