In the first conversation, George and Rob explored what it will take to make low-carbon heating work in real British homes taking into account things like design, heat-loss calculations, quality installations, homeowner confidence and joined-up smart technology.

In the second, George and Ben tackled the future of new-build housing, from fabric-first design, heat pumps and overheating to skills, affordability and the bold thinking needed to create genuinely sustainable communities. George Clark then went off on a glorious, full-blooded rant about new towns!

Both episodes will be coming to the Renewable Heating Hub YouTube channel and wherever you get your podcasts… as long as that happens to be Spotify, Amazon or Apple Podcasts.

So when running pure weather comp, is the weekly planner NOT active?  Screen prints of my set up attached.

It's able to correct my mistakes, but particularly poor at presenting information for which I don't yet understand the concept.

For example, yesterday I needed the check the order in which specific directives were issued by Ofgem. I started searching for a Decision Notice for which I thought I knew the shortform name "LM04+". The AI immediately realised I had meant TM04+ and asked if I wished to proceed in researching that.

That's fine.

However AI wouldn't try to correct me if I was researching the reasons why we need to fund substantial upgrades to the electricity grid. There's a massive trove of online articles from authoritative organisations which state numerous different models, each showing increased growth of the grid up to 2050. AI simply believes that is 'evidence', based on the corpus of documentation.

If a human had repeated those grid upgrade paths to me, then I would intervene to stop them.

The future paths conflict with the Directory of UK Energy Statistics 2025 (DUKES) which was published in July'26.
That contains several graphs showing a steady decrease in electricity demand.

and the same is true for electricity generation:

I'm not suggesting that we shouldn't invest in upgrading the grid. But unless I first appreciate why the demand decreases occur, then I'm not able to assess what levels of upgrade will be required, where and why.

An important role of this forum is to present the concepts which underpin how we generate and deploy energy.

That's more important that simply asserting an approach as being "the correct method".

Once we grasp the concept we can then turn to AI to explore the facts.

... and I've just wandered off-topic.

If anyone wants to pursue this further, then I'll get @editor to move it to a more suitable topic where others can find it in future.
