RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

Will give an answer tomorrow, probably not very detailed, as my time using oil for CH is but a dim glow in the far distance that gets smaller with eve...

RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

As I said in the original post that had the chart, it came from the setback discussion thread, and if you look at the title of the chart, it is data f...

RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

Hopefully my immediate past post has clarified things. The previous discussion started if I recall correctly precisely because there was a discrepancy...

RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

We discussed this at length before, some time ago, and something has changed: the way I heat my house, going from timed oil CH to mostly (sometimes I ...

RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

I'm actually doing better than that. The chart has thousands of data points, and the ('trend') line in effect averages/summarises all those data point...

RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

@jamespa - @jamespa - you are still avoiding my question! Is it not the case that the divide by 2000 rough rule of thumb can give very misleading resu...

RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

That chart shows heating energy in for my heat pump. Given an efficiency of 300%, then an energy in figure of 4 will give an energy out figure of 12. ...

RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

I suspect two things are getting conflated here: (1) my demonstration of my method for using energy in/out to determine heat loss, using my heat pum...

No I didn't, either I have completely misled you somehow, or you are not reading my posts!

RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

I'm not sure that answers my question (is the divide by 2000 rule of thumb unreliable?). You divided 16000kWh pa (current/historic fossil fuel use) by...

I do - see my previous post! Plus it also happens to be the figure decent heat loss calculations come up with.
