Is this article a Red Haddock ???

If every rad could call for heat independantly... why would there be a wall stat?

For the occupants to use to specify the temperature they wanted in the room.

I agree, but ....

... if I understand correctly there are now some 'regulations' (I don't know their 'status') calling for 'zoning' of heating, and that that is usually achieved with wall stats in each zone. Is that not the case? (not that I personally care - I'm happy with what I have, regs or no regs )

That's basically what TRVs do

Which is what the TRV does

It is - but (speaking from relative ignorance) the impression I get is that 'the requirement' is not satisfied by TRVs alone. Hopefully someone knows something about this, and can tell us.

It all depends on the TRVs, mine most certainly not but some are fully programmable using the app form the other side of the world.

The room I am in now has 3 radiators.

So you think that if I want to change the temperature it is not better to only have to adjust one wall stat than it is 3 TRVs.

OK.
