> The most common way of heating here is that you have radiators set up

Most people here would need to actively tweak it every time the leave the house and every time they come in. And do it separately for each room. Just from the way how heating works - you have valve in each room that you turn in order to adjust heating.

Of course no one does it every day twice.

I do. I turn up the heat in the morning and turn it down again in the evening. Smart thermostats can do that automatically, but my home office doesn't have a smart thermostat.

Sounds like fair inconvenience to go through every room and then have cold until it finally heats up.
