Hydronic heat finds its own zone

Article Abstract:

The use of a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) with a hydronic heating system enables the system to be broken into multiple heating zones, making for more energy-efficient heating. The TRV already has been effectively used in Europe, and the valve cost ranges from about $15 to $50.
