House is overheating

[Russdl]

@SteamyTea & @Conor  yep, absolutely.
 

My mistake was thinking that the house is starting to cool down so we’d best make the most of all the sun we see, so we let it in not realising how quickly it would reverse that cooling trend.
 

We haven’t seen a huge amount of sun throughout the days but in the morning it’s been there, warming up that gable end and I think warming the incoming air much more than I bargained for.

If you have an IR thermometer, may be worth taking some measurements during the day and night. You may find the rise in temperature is just the air temp.

@SteamyTea I do but I’m miles away for a few days so I’m seeing what’s happening ‘on line’ and getting feedback ‘on phone’. As it happens the bypass is still open and the family are walking round in summer rig. So it’s not bad at all.

Me to, wish I wasn't.

I brought my box of electronic with me, which I think includes an IR Thermometer for a Raspberry Pi.

If I get the enthusiasm over the next few days, I way get around to making that simpler and more accurate energy monitor and link it in with some other environmental monitoring.
