Consider a thermally isolated house with a finite number N>2 of interconnected rooms, each with its own heat vent. Also located arbitrarily in the house is one thermostat, controlling the temperature of the hot air source to the vents. Is it possible, by adjusting the thermostat and the vent openings, to change the mean temperature of one room while eventually maintaining the mean temperatures of the other rooms?
