Under the sponsorship of the Gas Research Institute, a gas combo heater was tested during the heating season in an unoccupied contemporary research house located near Washington, D.C. The research house was moderately furnished to approximate conditions of occupancy for a family of three. Presence of occupants and use of appliances were simulated. Performance of the unit was evaluated on the basis of indoor comfort, dynamic response to changing indoor/outdoor conditions, effect of setback and appliance simulation, energy consumption, and efficiency.
