  1. Do the numbers, if the ACH are a small fraction of the total losses, then there is little to be gained i.e. say 2 kWh/day via air change and 30 kWh via fabric losses.
  2. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1vHpIGkpgkplmItn_0IaPXQ-5Fxnr08Wz That is the link to the University of Bath download. And it is Craig Jones, not Steve Jones.
  3. But most would have gone to an incinerator to make electricity, possibly. And there is a bit of a myth that all timber eventually rots to CO2. Not the case, much is left as soil.
  4. Won't getting a 3 Phase supply get around the problem easier?
  5. (expletive deleted) me sideways in the back alley crack
  6. CT1, sorts everything.
  7. I don't think there is any way to know the size of the induction coil without looking, not sure if the manufacturers want to show how simple the insides are.
  8. One things, is there enough water pressure, some washing machines are sensitive to this.
  9. Is there data in the ICE from Bath? If not, email Steve Jones, he is very approachable.
  10. Hopefully @ProDave will be along before then, he knows about this sort of thing better. And hot to earth things to stop the voltage floating. There are different electrical regs for caravans and outside stuff from generators.
  11. Is the generator a pure sine wave one? Probably not. The washing machine electronics may not like anything else. Is the inverter big enough, and is that also a pure sine wave one?
  12. Yours is a Carrier unit. If you buy from eBay, make sure you can get spares easily, i.e. control boards, it may be a zero volt switch, and command units, or you may not be able to configure properly. And get the original manufacturer's manual. And, and, check what refrigerant gas it uses.
  13. You need to get the system balanced and the correct airflows. Then it will be cheaper to run, quieter, no noticeable drafts and feel just as fresh airy.
  14. Welcome The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind Even when doing 90 miles an hour down a dead end street But in the world of fibreglass, one is still looking for a gem Be careful of that travelin' salesman that I have heard about I can't go on, it is getting naff. Most Japanese and American units are fine, just make sure they are inverter types, and sized (oversized) correctly for your needs.
  15. Turn it around, ask if they have any jobs going, point out that you are a specialist at cold calling and know about PV.
  16. All it has every been really, just more fun to make it complicated.
  17. Very easy to measure though.
  18. No, I don’t find it necessary, for the few weeks a year that are hot enough, I enjoy it ?, saves paying fir a holiday to the south of Italy where the temps are that high anyway! We don't get exceptionally high summer temperatures, or exceptionally cold winter ones. We just get wind and rain.
  19. My place is timber framed and can't remember any problems with insurance. It is 34 years old.
  20. But taken 5 years to do.
  21. It is not the burning that is the problem with steel framed buildings, is is the manner in which they fail. This is why the Twin Towers collapsed, the steel frame twisted as it got hot. Also why asbestos was used to cover the steelwork. I would like to know where the 'every seven seconds' comes from. And is there a large gap between the windows and the opening.
  22. Welcome Keith SE Cornwall, you can smell Devon there. So what do you want to know about the carbon dioxide equivalent emissions and embodied energy of different building methods. It really breaks down into just two parts. The carbon dioxide equivalent emissions and embodied energy of the construction materials, divided by how long they will last, and the carbon dioxide equivalent emissions of running the place. Then you will find that a stick built timber frame with lots of cellulose/wood fibre insulation is the best, and it is your skill set.
  23. I have a Russel Hobbs RH601H401B, have no trouble at all, even with my very light, cheap and basic pots and pans. It is possible to burn stuff, but I just turn the power down to 1 or 2 and stuff simmers away nicely.
  24. Is it too late to fit and extra extract in the living room to balance the flowrates there?
