It seems fairly common knowledge that a thermostat should not be placed in the warmest room in a house, and should also not be placed in a room with TRVs. But in our brand new house the builders did just that!
Does anyone know if this is actually against building regulations?
The TACMA guide says it should not be done:

But the regulation document itself (is this the right one???) is so wishy-washy it doesn't seem to make any regulations at all!!

Does anyone know if I can approach the builder to get them to fit a wireless thermostat, because they won't do anything if they can avoid it.
