If you are interested Evaluation of Domestic Heating Controls is a report of work done by Strathclyde University on the efficiency of various systems. It is purely theoretical, based on computer modelling of various types of houses, heating systems and controls.

If you are a real "anorak", you can even download the programs used and play around with them yourself.

There was a Trend system managing everything at the college I worked for. The whole lot was controlled from a computer. Trend don't make anything for the domestic market, so it's not much point pointing the OP in that direction.

A BMS controls contractor will assemble a control system for virtually any requirement; Trend & other BMS systems have been fitted in many large (i.e., expensive) houses, but it's not cheap. There are other sismilar systems. A Doorways program wallows access to the system without the cost of a BMS manufacturers head-end software.
