Central Heating Zoning controls (was Are room thermostats out of fashion?) longish question

My three way time controller has buttons that switch off any of its
three zones?
The proposal is for programmable room thermostats and no overall programmer,
just a switch to turn off the entire heating system (except HWC).
Obviously, a 3 channel programmer with non-programmable stats is a different
system, also with an easy way to totally turn off the heating. However, it
doesn't allow a local button for override/boost and doesn't allow different
temperatures at different times of day.
Fairy nuff. Sounds amusing enough.
I am going to radically side with a single IMM comment, that circulation
hot water through fan convectors does a fair job of heating without the
fans on.
If you are really picky, fit a motorized valve.
I can;t answer for teh Kickspace, but my 'vectors had no balancing
valves. These are manadatory to stop them hogging CH flow. If you have a
motorsized valve per convector that may not be such a problem - since
hey will hog till the romm warms up only.
