    That would be a penny wise pound foolish idea, the rooms only get damp, possible mould growth.

    yes if they stop emitting heat and then if the temp drops to 12 or so degrees centigrade you will get much condensation and damp, depending on relative humidity of air

    Install TRV's in the unused rooms. Set them low so the room will get to a low but not cold temp

    That link seems handy, but I can't get it to work on a great touchscreen? Maybe on a laptop? It won't allow me changes to the values using the sliders.
