Whoops, more than, not too leaky. Shall go and edit my post.

In a month? What are the standing losses? I take it is a diesel. My 1.8TDI only does that on a decent run, locally it seems to be about 55 MPG.

Is this a final year project? One area that would be interesting is how the overall building airtightness affects the performance of the MVHR. There seems to be 'rules of thumb' about not worth it if your house has more than 3 ACH@50Pa. Another area that I would like to know is, how does different mass flow rates affect the energy transfer. Do you have a Passivhaus to play with at the university?

Hotter than my shower. Not suggesting bath in your used water though.

Room sealed or not, airtight house or not, putting a WBS in your house is going to cause a change in air quality. I don't think the seals, even when new, are that brilliant. Ask yourself if you are happy to invite me around to smoke a packet of Marlboro in your living room one evening. That is about 16gm of combustible material, WBS will take several kilos. Why not fit a WBS with a back boiler outside the house, then pipe in some hot water to an emitter. Then when the power cuts come, fire it up, let is thermosyphon and keep you warm.

@Alwayslearning22 Not sure what you tried in the end, but last night was the first proper storm to hit since I secondary glazed. Here is a few screenshots. First is weather map, then two of the sound meter. First SM is on the window cill, second is about a metre from the window. Not very noisy.

I hope @MikeSharp01 sees this, then he can tell me how to make a better energy monitor. I wish I understood all this communication business better.

Welcome. Ventilation is very misunderstood on here, any input would be useful.

So glad I have hacked into my neighbour's, saves me worrying about being vulnerable.

Seem to remember that old @Jeremy Harris worked out the actual heat loss though a keyhole. Decided it was too small to worry about. I hate the draught that comes though mine now I have fixed the leaky door.

Purchase as a Service then. Not going to end well.

Yes, but not an American's techno bitch, being spanked daily.

Technology taking a nosedive then.

Plus roof and wind load calculations, cabling installation type (part of Part P), predicted generation ( needed for MCS), and probably more things.

Done my days work, now it is time to scare children.

MCS system are more than just electrically safe and compliant though.

It is like virginity then: the other thing that you cannot get back. You may find out one day.

Better make the hole bigger then.

So no energy lost, or cash. The system still worked? All the rest was your choosing. Does make one wonder about buying into an eco system though.

What was actually wasted?

Normal for power, it is what I drew, on average, from the grid last week. It will be 2.4 kWh/day, so at 35p/kWh, 84p/day, before everything else is added.

Except they have decided not to, anymore. https://www.theguardian.com/money/2022/oct/09/experts-attack-government-inaction-over-energy-saving-guidance

Why the worry about parking on a slope, tide timetable and a weather map is more useful.
