Good old physics tells us that it is impossible to not have to put extra energy in to get the temperature up without putting extra energy in. I havent...
@cathoderay the principle is as probably described somewhere above, that the energy usage is directly proportional to the deltaT between outside and i...
interestingly that’s not what I see, here is the same from my calculations on your data, there is clearly extra energy being put in:
