You are assuming that they are using a simple one term, proportional, 
controller.  You are probably right, but modern central heating 
controllers are two term (they include an integral term), and industrial 
controllers may well be three term.

The wildly varying thermal input probably means that any sophisticated 
controller would need to be aware of transmission.
