RE: Do setbacks save energy without compromising comfort?

Did I miss some data on the heat loss of @cathoderay 's house. I don't recall seeing an experimentally determined value (and I think you know what I ...

RE: Do setbacks save energy without compromising comfort?

Do you know it isnt matching demand, so far as I can see your IAT is staying constant which suggests it is. Edit - Oh - I see what you mean, can...

Id be a bit careful with the interpretation of this. If the house only cools by 1C peak (ie an average of 0.5C) for 12 hrs when it's 0 outside then a...
