Generated explanation

The illustration shows a room with a floor-mounted heat register beside an interior wall and doorway, and a floor-mounted return air grille beside the exterior wall below a window. Arrows identify the interior side of the room as warmer and the exterior side as cooler. The arrangement illustrates poorly located supply and return openings that contribute to uneven room temperatures and reduced comfort. An annotation states that these locations should be noted and that auxiliary electric heat may be desirable.
