  1. Will that be about ten to 6 on the 31 January 1606.
  2. Would I (expletive deleted). We all want to know whose missus trumps the loudest, and highest pitch.
  3. Two things, it is not just smoke that is the problem. Probably illegal to fit one that is not approved for the zone it is in. Easier to just not bother, they will, in time, be banned anyway.
  4. Panels can deliver more than the stated rating, it is only rated at one light level and one temperature, so is that p to 14 kW? Was that limited by the inverter? Seems about the right generation, but if it is exporting on an unused phase, your imports will not be affected. Obligatory kW and kWh.
  5. That can be insulated the same as any other area, energy transfer is agnostic on direction. She should have thought about all this before, what they are meant to do. Why on this forum, many of are very sceptical of architects.
  6. All you hear tbh is water flow Women testing flow, mid stream, is something to worry about.
  7. How noisy is your home already. May be worth finding out, you may be worrying unnecessarily about it. My experience of Paris is that it is noisy. Now I know you are not in the centre (the last place I stayed was in Rue Beautreillis, Jim Morrison fame), so not the busiest place, but noisy.
  8. I think in really it does not work anywhere. There is a disproportionate I crease I energy usage when there is a change in temperature. Bit like driving. You will soon notice the change in MPG if you only accelerate hard, when going up a hill.
  9. Glad you have some acknowledgement that there is a problem. Really does highlight the need for half decent energy monitoring. Especially if there is 3 Phase. 3 Phase is not really that useful in the domestic setting, except it does allow for a greater capacity. Reducing the loads though time shifting i.e don't run a 6 kW water heater at the same time as charging the car and cooking supper, is probably an easier and much cheaper option.
  10. Well it is 700 J/s which is enough to cool 0.56 of a kilogram of air by 1⁰C every second. So 20m³ would cool by 1⁰C in 36 seconds. I think. I hate doing arithmetic without a spreadsheet.
  11. Anecdotally is an partial anagram of No Data. Without knowing the energy inputs, air leakage and temperature variation, it is not possible to compare the two. Building Regs will tell you a minimum standard anyway, so you cannot go below that. If you know the power losses and the power inputs, the sized of the room, you can calculate the energy needed to heat it
  12. No, the air temperature. If it drops below the dew point, condensation will form, so you end up with a damp, cold garage. And a rusty bicyclette. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew_point
  13. Does it not just make it a self fulfilling prophesy though. There are many products on the market that are all three. Just take mass manufactured food, or automobiles. White goods are another, a basic fridge, £120, lasts for years, does the job asked of it, and as it is a 'white good' looks like most of the rest. Planning, organisation and execution are they keys to getting a job done properly and within budget.
  14. I am sure that some will claim that because they live in a rural setting and they use 'their own wood', this story is untrue. Smoking in public buildings was banned, and that was less of a problem than this.
  15. Should have built a fence around it. https://metro.co.uk/2023/02/01/couple-at-war-with-neighbours-over-fence-blocking-front-door-18200458/
  16. Two things. Will the temperature drop go below the dewpoint, this will cause condensation. And It is maths, not math.
  17. Makes a change from fish fingers.
  18. Totally missed the point I was making.
  19. Saw your car in that local. Reg is. pEN 1s
  20. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252376922299 Was popular in the 1970s
  21. or bS (expletive deleted)
  22. Eat more fruit.
  23. Standard Error of the Mean. Allows you to infer how accurate the results are within pre agreed limits. When looking at something like PV output and Solar Power, there is no need to work at the 1W level, 50 W bins would be accurate enough. Would be the same as a P-Value of 0.05.
  24. Just add in the standard error and it will be close enough.
  25. Almost Kayaks to Lord Weinstock country residence.
