You don't mean years do you.

Good stuff. Have you tried it on cooling mode yet?

I have always fancied getting one of those medical school skeletons and burying it in a sand dune. Then let it slowly expose in the weather. Next two weeks will be ideal time to do it.

August is holiday time as well. They will be bring all there illegitimate children, and tattoos to Penzance.

I went to 19.com. Wow, bookmark it.

That has nothing to do with taking the power away. Energy is always conserved, to if the PV module receives 1 unit of energy, converts that into 0.2 units of electrical energy, then only 0.8 units are passing though to raise the temperature of 'something else'. As you say, 'up north', and to be honest, down here in the far west, we are not bothered too much by excess temperatures. So it may be worth looking at your house design, and orientation to the sun, to work out if it is really the roof causing the problem or the gable ends i.e. if one faces SW and gets a good solar bashing in the afternoon.

Same as minicab drivers. They tend to be slightly lower than ecologists. (many a long hour having to spend a year at university with conservationists and ecologists. Environmentalists are a different breed, much more general)

I have got rid of most of my books. On Line resources are so good these days, they just seem a waste of space. Charity shops are good for books, and I have hours of fun mixing them up to make inappropriate words from the titles. Shall see if I can make 'Joy of Gardening'.

So two up from minicab/deliveroo drivers.

We had AirCo units in all the company housing. A big brown box though the wall, water dropped out the back. Two heat exchangers in them. The cold side was 'outside' to dehumidify, then another 'inside' for temperature control. Fan and compressor wedged between them. Good units, only had one go wrong in 4 years, sounded like an elephant with hiccups. I suspect the name AirCo was a local rebranding, for the French and Dutch West Indies, of someone else's unit, probably Carrier.

Not the A/C units I had back home in the West Indies. I think it really depends what you want, and terminology differs. From my understanding A/C conditions the air i.e. controls humidity, temperature and replacement. The units sold in the UK are after just coolers and heaters, they don't change the air, so the AH stays the same, with the RH varying with temperature. Fitting cooling and heating to MVHR is, in my understanding, air conditioning. If it shifts enough volume is another matter.

Arrange for someone else. They will probably take it down.

I would be wary of calling my bitch weak. Good at being spread out though.

Any basic Physics book. And https://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-Buildings-Fall-Down-Structures/dp/039331152X

I am typing this with my left hand.

Steady on chap, some of us have not had breakfast yet.

I got a cheap scaffold tower. Bloody Brilliant it is.

I don't get this. Why is the This Year greater than the Lifetime?

But at a CoP of not much more than 1 for a lot of the year. I have an ordinary, vented, 200lt, E7 cylinder. This year, for the first time, I am only heating the top third. The temperature is higher, but the volume less, saving at least a kWh a day. Secondary timer cost me less than 20 quid, so the experiment has already paid off the investment.

August Bank Holiday, 1976.

Just been out to the car and it is raining here, still warm though.

That would increase heating in summer, we have more hours of daylight than that. That will take some explaining for a homogenous product like basic insulation materials. I doubt there are any, and then you have the window to surface area and the volume to surface area to consider. Cough, cough. You are talking about thermal inertia. If you want to reduce the solar radiation absorbed by your roof, stick some PV on it, that will convert about 18% of the energy into electricity. You can use that to run some A/C. You could cover your roof with tin foil, on the outside, that is effective. Or wait for a cloudy day to come along.

Or a wank

Is Puce really a colour?
