“…This raises the question of how heating control usability is perceived, and how it may be improved, in the case of heating systems which are inherently slow-response, such as underfloor heating systems [58]. Despite these systems being suggested to generate energy savings and better heat distribution [59], [60], there is sparse research on user perceptions of underfloor heating systems and, in particular, whether slow response times pose a challenge. Recently, [61] found that underfloor heating systems were about as unfamiliar to users as heat pumps, with a lack of understanding of how they operate causing controllability issues.…”
