Best Answer

A thermostat is a device that controls the temperature of an operation / device e.g. in an electric iron the thermostat disconnects the electric supply to the heating coilwhen the set temperature is reached , thus saving electrical energy. The thermostat itself does not emit any CO2 , though you could say that in its own manufacture energy was spent and hence some CO2 was emitted . This is called embedded CO2 and is generally not considered to be significant.
