18 Claims

1. A temperature control system for monitoring temperature, comprising:

a cover, including an insulating material, sized to cover and surround a steam radiator [ , the cover defining a vent] ;

[ a fan disposed in the vent; ] and

at least one controller coupled to the cover, the at least one controller configured to execute computer readable instructions to , [ : ]

receive a first temperature measurement from a first temperature sensor, the first temperature measurement corresponding to temperature in a space where the first temperature sensor is positioned,

determine ~~whether~~ [ that ] the first temperature measurement is below a first threshold point, and

[ in response to the first temperature measurement being below the first threshold point, ] output a signal to [ at least one of (i) ] an actuator ~~if the first temperature measurement is below a first threshold point, the actuator configured~~ to [ cause the actuator to ] move a [ the ] vent from a ~~first~~ [ closed ] position to a [ an open position ] different ~~second~~ [ from the closed ] position ~~upon receiving the signal, the first position corresponding to the vent being closed, and the second position corresponding to the vent being open~~ [ or (ii) the fan to change a state of the fan] .
