  [Quote: "6.1.2.1 Ideally, some form of temperature control should be available in all rooms either by thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) in the case of radiators or zone control valves for UFH." Quote: "6.1.2.2. Radiators Typically, individual radiators will have trimming control of the room temperature via TRVs. These are a relatively low cost, passive methods of providing user comfort control, whilst also conserving energy by reducing the risk of overheating the space." Quote: "6.1.3. Weather Compensation Weather compensation (more accurately described as Ambient Air Temperature Load Correction) endeavours to improve the efficiency of the heat pump during seasonal operation by recognising that the output of most heat emitters does not need to be set at maximum during low load conditions. This means that the flow temperature can be reduced, which in turn will ordinarily increase the efficiency of the unit." Quote: "MCS requires weather compensation to be available on all space heating systems but does not stipulate how this must be set up." Quote: "7.2.4. Temperature Set Point It is advisable that when designing the controls for any heat pump space heating system consideration should be given to the provision of 'weather compensation' ..."]
