That is for curing piles with an electrode.

Does it work like a pulsejet engine. Still relied on the Carnot cycle. Ultra sound cleaning caused a change of state in the cleaning fluid on the surface of article being cleaned. That is a form of focusing. Seem to remember reading about this 20 plus years ago, surprised it has taken this long to get this far. Not sure where all the helium will come from, it is a fairly rare gas these days, and we are not making anymore if it on Earth.

Keep things in perspective. You can easily work out the exposed surface area of a wall tie, and how many there will be. That, along with the length and the thermal conductivity o the material they are made from can easily be translated into a U-Value. Then look at what percentage that will be of total losses rom all other elements. In a similar fashion, you can work out the cost difference and compare it to the total spend on insulation.

You should also have a generation meter after the inverter and before the consumer unit. Have you checked that, and what does it read? Then divide the number by the number of days since the system was commissioned.

For 2/3rd of that money, I will be lube up wires, pull and jerk will all my might.

If it is not built yet, get rid of the hips, get more on then. But basically yes, standard trays around the windows. I think Velux actually do a PV system.

Why would it be removed and not replaced? £10 Sheet of polycarbonate would sort the problem if waiting for a replacement after a completely devastating failure though they tend to stay intact after shattering)

Just tell her the Cornish Stonemason is on his way drekkly.

No you haven't. You have a system that has an installed capacity of 6 kW. If it has only generated 2.8 kWh in a day, the I suspect that something is seriously wrong. What make inverter do you have? What size is it? Do the modules have optimisers on them? There is always a possibility that some of the modules (the proper name for panels) are not connected up, or have become disconnected. Let us get the existing PV working right first, then worry about a larger system and diverting power kW is power, kWh is energy. The difference is important.

To save the planet, I sent the wife back to her husband. Other wives are available.

Adding a second Willis is cheap. But adding extra electrical storage gives you flexibility, but is expensive and the cheap 4 hour window may vanish. Leaving you with expensive batteries. So is the overnight temperature in the house acceptable? Would a large thermal buffer tank allow you to store enough for the cold days? Can you divert PV, even if only a few hundred watts into your existing system during the day? 25p/kWh during the day is not that expensive, a cheap packet of fags costs a tenner, a pint about a fiver, and the coffee I am drinking at the moment £2.75. My car burns through 45 kWh in an hour when on the motorway. That is almost 7 quid an hour. If it was an EV and still used 45 kWh but was charged at 25p/kWh then that would be £11.25. but the distance covered would be 110 miles, rather than 60.

Should be alright then. I open my bedroom window at night, when I am generating humidity. Never understood opening them after the event.

Don't need to, but as an architect was invoked, we know with a very high degree of certainty it has gone over.

About a week's rent and a week delay. And the budget is totally blown, it would have been a greater % of the original budget.

Welcome There are quite a few threads on here about solar and batteries. If the search facility is not showing decent results, use Google to do a site search and it generally gives more targeted results.

Well not small holes. The main problem is because airtightness was vastly improved (generally) over traditional building techniques, condensation started to become a real problem. Because of the movable nature of gasses, condensation generally happens on the nearest cold surface. So windows first, then 'somewhere within the wall'. As timber can rot after a few years, there is more moisture in the gas we call air (a mixture of many gasses, including water vapour), and the warmer the air is, the more fraction of water vapour is potentially in it. To overcome this, a VCL is installed on the warm side, in the UK this means the inside. The rest of the wall is now only open to outside air, with its lower temperatures and absolute humidity, the actual grams of water vapour in every kilogram of air. By also being 'vapour open' to the exterior, as the wall warms during the day because of solar energy and weather variations, the smaller amount of water can easily evaporate away. But because there is now a trapped volume of air within the building, and one that has a greater absolute amount of water vapour in it, even if the relative humidity is lower, this has to be dealt with. Window trickle vents and extractor fans were the usual method. Whiles these work, the air changes are uncontrolled and spasmodic, and threw out the energy that had been put into the air to heat it up. So mechanical ventilation and heat recover is now fitted. This works best in a very airtight house and should easily recover the electrical energy to run them. So how do you ventilate your house?

Tell me about it. Only got once socket, on an interior stud wall, that does it. Just can't seem to find the path it is coming in.

My timber frame is 35 years old and it has a VLC. So did the Barret ones that (expletive deleted)ed up in the 1980s

Finger painting isn't it.

Much much less than on here from some people. Pretty close as they are quoting easily checkable figures. You can download all the last 12 years data from templar.

Offer them your creative solutions. Can get a half decent holiday mobile home on Canvey Island for that. They have pulled down Shellhaven Refinery now, so lovely views of East London.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power_in_the_United_Kingdom Shows that between 2019 and 2020, wind generation went from ~65000 GWh to ~75000 GWh generation. That is about 25% of what was generated. Gas fired was 10% higher, and nuclear 7.5% lower. And last year, even after the non story about lack of wind, the lights stayed on. But where is the fun in letting experts and highly qualified engineers run a critical service. It would be so much better if political commentators and arts graduates run the National Grid, maybe a few historians would help keep the the frequency in check.

Watches one at my Mother's a while back. People looking at flats in the sun. They loved the view from one of the balconies, was nothing special, but probably better than wherever they crawled out from. Wish they had filmed it at head height, when sitting in a chair. They may have realised that all they see is a concrete wall. (expletive deleted)ing moron architect.

I am not so sure, isn't that more a case of what is offered, rather than what is wanted. Back in the 80's and 90's, everyone was going to be single and live in a city. So we now have empty flats in city centres now. Designers designed places that had limited car parking, forgetting that cars were getting better and cheaper. Also, not many people sleep in anything other that bedroom (studio flats should be banned), most people cook in a kitchen, and watch TV, from a sofa, in a living room and bath in a bathroom. Also, when viewing houses, one with furniture and one without seem very different. Designing a house is not as critical as designing a ship or a space station. If you want compact living, forget a house and get a motor home, they are marvels of design, usually terrible.
