Wow! That’s really impressive. So far I’ve lumped heating and hot water in with everything else. Should be easy enough to separate out with the help of the Viessman app - will be v interesting to compare! #passivehouse #passivhaus #retrofit #ashp #energyuse #enerphit

AI feels invisible, but the infrastructure behind it isn’t.
Data centre electricity demand is now growing 4× faster than other sectors and could exceed Japan’s total electricity use by 2030.

In the Netherlands we say heatpumps work best with low temperature radiators or low temperature floorheating. Never with normal radiator shown in the pictures in the article. With high temperature radiators you dont get it warm and the energyuse is getting very high.

Staying in a flat with a gas combo boiler. After six months with an ASHP with a max temp of 45degC, heating water so hot you have to dilute it with loads of cold to wash up seems an utterly bonkers way to use energy. #EcoBungalow #passivhaus #ashp #retrofit #passivehouse #energyuse
