[1] Many TMVs use a wax thermostat for regulation. They also shut ...
The replacement of a manual heating control with a conventional wax motor TRV has been estimated to save at least 280 kilograms (620 lb) of CO 2 per year (in 2011 for a British semi-detached house with 3 bedrooms and gas heating [1]).
