    It is my day off, and it is raining But I was out on the coldest evening week before last. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyqG46kY-c8

    I shall sneak some in. The Queensway Club was an interesting one, As was Rio.

    Saunas are hotter, had to change benches over at Colchester once, they would not let me turn them off. That was a hard day.

    The poor and needy, or it could be the fat and greedy, still need feeding. It was an improvement on the day before, then it was 43°C

    Worked in this for 5 hours yesterday

    Nor me, not had a TV since 1994. I do watch the Construction Channel sometimes.

    Would the summer bypass just either push air into the house, or suck it out. If so, then maybe the exhaust has no airflow, but the intake from outside does, or visa versa. I assumes the loft was properly boarded to get to the unit. All PV stuff that was fitted in lofts had to have a pathway and a standing area. I don't understand why newbuilds don't have the loft boarded by default, that way the insulation can be covered over and no one will know it is missing.

    Why do you want to get to it. Apart from initial setup and changing any filters fitted, they don't need to be looked at.

    Yes, it is quite hard to do in the lab and other carefully set up experiments. There are a few statistical techniques one can employ to tease out the differences, but if the initial premise, or the initial starting conditions are not correct, then the data produces rubbish results.

    The technology has not changed any. Some are better than others that is all. Basically warm, moist air is drawn out of the house, the thermal energy is extracted by the heat exchanger to warm up cooler external air that has a lower humidity. Sometimes the outside air is warmer than the internal air, and sometimes the external RH is higher too. That is when the control system earns it keep. So the important part is the control system really. The heat exchanger is in a box with a couple of fans connected to it (usually).

    They grow oranges in Spain, that is on a similar latitude as Nebraska.
  12. SteamyTea
    I wish.

    And also in a very small fraction of people tested/surveyed. This weeks comic had an article about this very point (not bacon, sampling methods).

    Yes and your suggested solution was the creation of a definitive single source of truth for global warming Yes, it is called data, and we have a lot of it. I suggest that education is the way forward, not myths, prejudice and denial of the truth. This is starting to sound like the Woman's Hour joke I heard a couple of years back. Question: "What do 9 out of ten people enjoy?" Answer: "Gang Rape".

    As NiFe are large and heavy, could they be redesigned and incorporated into the foundations of a house. Might sound a bit 'whacky', but be already use timber, steel and concrete beams to do that.
  16. SteamyTea
    Which goes back to my original point.

    These are a couple of 200W ones, on a fairly windy day.

    Yes, because the science is done (Svante Arrhenius showed the link, John Tyndall tested it) , there is nothing much else to know about the overall picture. Some details still need to be finalised, but it is really just confirmation. Using the term sounds to me like educational insecurity, or just sour grapes, take your pick. Or try going to a shop and asking for something and then claiming that under your post modernist views the price per kilo is wrong. You should be OK as your opinion is just as valid as the person who bothered to weight it, find out the unit costs, added the marketing costs and other overheads and bothered to run a business selling the 'stuff' (stuff is a term used by science to mean matter, generally).

    People that like WBS would point to that as proof about how great they are.
  20. SteamyTea
    I shall ponder that while I am out.
  21. SteamyTea
    3 people who are well known for working in research science. I feel a 'Storm' moment coming on.
  22. SteamyTea
    A Brief History of Humankind did not receive very good reviews from the science community.
  23. SteamyTea
    That may have been true until the 'science method' came along and people like Betrand Russell and Karl Popper showed what nonsense had been going on before. A majority or consensus does not make something true.
  24. SteamyTea
    It's OK, just get the people that did it to come back and do it again. After informing BC, who may or maynot have seen it, but never did anything about it either way. By making a fuss you will be helping get rid of bad practice and hopefully bad building.
  25. SteamyTea
    Or i just shows how people can pick things to suit their vision of the 'truth', even if they contradict themselves in the same sentence.
