Dear List Members,

We have a small museum and two historic homes (c. 1840-1850).
Unfortunately, these homes were fitted with heat and a/c in the 1970s. What
makes this even more problematic is that the homes, of course, do not have
the appropriate insulation for such a modern system.  Thus, the heat or a/c
will run almost continuously, being that one house is on a rock pier
foundation, with a wood plank floor and walls.  My question is, how
necessary is it to maintain the homes at AAM temp. guidelines (65-70F)
through out the winter?

Thank you in advance.
