"If" this is a boiler system "and" it has a boiler fed domestic hot water heat exchanger, the system most likely has a priority thermostat or relay that has failed. Most systems allow the domestic hot water heating to have "priority" via some type of control strategy. Or maybe they did not install one. Or maybe this does not answer your question at all. Not knowing all the parameters makes it tough. If this happens to be an AMTI HW model heatmaker boiler, the three wire thermostat on the DHW leaving pipe is defective. lc

The hot water would transfer heat to the ice, causing it to melt and eventually reach a point where the water temperature is equal throughout. This process involves the ice absorbing heat energy from the hot water until it reaches a thermal equilibrium.
Is it necessary to have water turned on to run central heating?
Not unless you are using radiant heat where there are water lines within the foundation that circulate hot water through them to heat the house or outdoor patio.
What effect would a smart house have on the environment?
Over time, a smart house could conserve a lot of energy (minimize the energy wasted). For example, the lights would go out when you leave the room. Another example, of smart design: the heat from the back of the refrigerator would be used to pre-heat your hot water.
