Temp control is acting even if A/C is off

Hi guys,
I have honda civic LX 2006 model.
I noticed one strange thing in my car i.e. even if I have my A/C and fan control off, there is air coming from the A/C duct and if I change the temperature control then it changes the temperature of the air coming from the ducts.
Have anybody else noticed this or there is some fault in my car?
thanks
Rajeev

its probably becaue you have the vent in "fresh air" mode and not in recirculating. mode.

i'm (obviously) not the original poster, but i had a followup question to this that i've been arguing with my friend about...

If it is not in recirculation mode, it brings air from the outside, whether the air-speed-control is off or on high or whatever....

So... if all the lights are off (meaning bringing air from outside, a/c off, and max a/c off), if you have the air-speed-control to any setting, is that using any additional hp/gas?
