Well, let's throw in the effect of humidity too.
Well, as one of the nicer off-topic threads on this list, might I
mention that I always wanted to patent a thermostat that regulates heat
index (or comfort index - a combination of temp and humidity) instead of
temperature. And not just a humidistat - I don't want to dump water
into the air if it is dry - I just want to turn down the AC when it is
dry...
Then again, I guess this post pretty-much obliterates my chance of
getting a patent. Then again, maybe somebody already has one but isn't
bothering to manufacture them - that would explain why I can't find one
for sale anywhere.
Instead I just have to set my temperature lower at night to compensate
for increased humidity - which is really just a lousy hack. Where is
the Honeywell bugzilla when you need it... :)

That's an awesome idea. Seriously, get this made. I want to buy one now.
You name the price!
Amazingly enough, this thread brought up a product development
discussion after all.
