[time-nuts] Temp/Humidity control systems?

[Eric Garner]

I would start looking at the ductless heat pump systems that are becoming
popular now they don't take up much space, have pretty good capacity and
are efficient. I have no idea if they can be proportionally controlled or
what the temperature hysteresis on them are though, which might be an issue
in a room the size of a sheet of plywood.
