Have those of you in California seen this: California utilities would control the temperature of new homes and commercial buildings in emergencies with a radio-controlled thermostat, under a proposed state update to building energy efficiency standards. Customers could not override the thermostats during “emergency events,” according to the proposal, part of a 236-page revision to building standards. The document is scheduled to be considered by the California Energy Commission, a state agency, on Jan. 30. The description does not provide any exception for health or safety concerns. It also does not define what are “emergency events. Jack __________________ The Doctor of BBQ www.DrofBBQ.com Jack@DrofBBQ.com

I heard this on the news. The "no exceptions, even for health and safety" concerns me greatly. Are they going to extend this to limiting our KWH per month in our homes? My FIL is on oxygen and runs his condenser at all times when he is home.
Guess I'll stay in my 45-y/o house. It doesn't even have a programmable thermostat - let alone a remotely controllable one.
Who will be responsible when our computer room at work overheats and ruins all our equipment because they shut off the A/C?
