Abstract: As early as 1942, the practice of temperature set back for short periods of time had been reported to reduce overall heating fuel consumption. Conclusions drawn from a study sponsored by the Deparlmenl of Commerce, National Bureau of Standards (circular letter LC-711) in 1942 indicate the following: It is possible to save fuel by setting the thermostat down at night. This saving, however, is not as great as some people appear to believe. The apparent economy of night set back is effected because the burner must run longer in the morning to replace heat which was withdrawn from the walls and heat-absorbing parts of the house during the period that the thermostat was set back.
