RE: Do setbacks save energy without compromising comfort?

It's not my airy-fairy logic, it's the regression which shows the OAT as measured by the heat pump can predict the energy in. It doesn't (within reaso...

RE: Do setbacks save energy without compromising comfort?

Very interesting! Perhaps I because I normally deal with medical/epidemiological data, which is invariably a very long way from tidy, I do like scatte...

RE: Do setbacks save energy without compromising comfort?

I agree, and there is also the uptick at the left hand end very possibly due to declining COP as Set LWT increases. However, extrapolating beyond the ...

RE: Do setbacks save energy without compromising comfort?

I do agree, how the the circulating pumps are treated for energy use is an unknown. I've been inclined to suppose they were part, maybe most, of the e...
