A family gathering with tank tops to sweaters

Of course, that is because there was cooking going on.

Many families around the country, I recently had a big Thanksgiving Gathering. Many of us met at my brother’s house, and it was quite lovely. My brother is always a very good host. He can cook extremely well and his home is spacious and comfortable. He has a backyard pool, which is too cold to swim in right now, but is enjoyable to sit around and relax and talk. I always enjoy the Comfort level in his house. It seems like when people gather at other houses, the air conditioning or Heating is never right. It seems like we have people wearing big sweaters because they’re freezing because there’s too much AC, and at the same time we have other people going around in tank tops and saying they are comfortable. That never happens at my brother’s house though, because he has embraced HVAC technology. He has quite a modern heating and cooling system. In the upstairs, there is a separate HVAC unit. Of course, that means the downstairs also has its own HVAC unit. Each one of those systems has HVAC with zone control. The HVAC with zone control allows for different thermostat settings in different parts of the house. He kept the kitchen thermostat set a bit lower than the living room and bedrooms. Of course, that is because there was cooking going on. He also has AC sensors up near the air conditioning vents. The AC sensors can tell whether someone is in the room or not, and if it detects there is no activity in a room, it will adjust the thermostat for that room accordingly. All of this modern HVAC technology also includes a smart thermostat. All of it is intended to save energy and money.
