Hi icebow1

Would this be ALL thermostats
sold, including those bought from
retail stores by individuals plus
those bought by contractors that
are supposed to go into new
dwellings? Would we include purchases
by corporations for large buildings?

By programmable, do you require it
to have a built-in CPU or are
the kind with the timer wheel
and triggers ok too?

Do you just want a #, or a breakdown?

I meant, large buildings like
condos, and apartment complexes.

Just looking for general information. Primarly interested in the
number of didgital programable thermostats sold to homeowners, new or
off the shelf of a hardware. We are trying to bring a new product to
market and want to have some understanding of the market size.
