Product marketing in cold-climate areas.2. Requirements elicitation with the engineering expert regarding selection of heating method.3. Selection of heating method.4. Consider continual power supply for the final product in development process.5. Creation of "zoned" heating for up to 3 or more areas ie, partitioning and prioritising areas need to heated.6. Default settings for the bedroom zone is 150 C (590 F) in the daytime, except Sunday before 10 a.m.; then heat bedrooms to 220 C (720 C) between 5 p.m. and 11 p.m.)7.
