When heating is zero, hot water must be ‘near 0’
© GBE NGS ASWS 2019
Pipe valve and tank insulations, needs lots of patience
© GBE NGS ASWS 2019
Valves and angle changes, takes insulating labour ages

Monitor Meter Control
You can only control the things that you know and understand
Everyday visible meters, to help monitor your heaters

Men press buttons ‘go faster’, controls must show who is master

Fabric First – Eco Bling last
Savings, Payback, FIT or RHI, exploit free wind or sun from the sky
© GBE NGS ASWS 2019
Use PV or wind: for best share of FIT, add a low voltage circuit for kit
© GBE NGS ASWS 2019
Domestic sized wind turbine on ridge or gable, can only work less-able
© GBE NGS ASWS 2019
ST or PV shaded by a tree, won’t make much energy for free
© GBE NGS ASWS 2019
ST or PV facing wrong way, will generate less RHI or FIT pay
© GBE NGS ASWS 2019-2021
Don’t feed all into the grid, to go far, use it to charge your electric car
© GBE NGS ASWS 2019
Fridges & Freezers denied from the mains, your electric car charge remains

Renewable heat pumps locked in, before gas assigned to the bin

Renewables output kit, controlled by charge supplied via FIT
© GBE NGS ASWS 2019
Renewable kit optimum orientation: essential for FIT or RHI compensation
© GBE NGS ASWS 2019
Other orientation and pitch angles apply, if not claiming FIT or RHI

Great CoP outside, needs great optimisation inside

Outside infra-red heat collector, feed inside infrared heat projector
© GBE NGS ASWS 2019-2021
Infra-red heat pad, replaces old convector heat rad.

Caution: Heat panels on ceilings, radiant heat leave heads reeling
© GBE NGS ASWS 2019
Heat panels on internal partitions, avoids external wall heat emissions
© GBE NGS ASWS 2019
In-surface radiant heating, needs Low-E glass to keep heat in
© GBE NGS ASWS 2019
LED lights optimise consumption, but only exhibit spotlight function
© GBE NGS ASWS 2019

LED light spectrum do not well serve a beautician, and risk delivering light malnutrition

Off site renewables, but not too far, transfer losses will jar

Let Greta’s School Children run Buildings
Prompted by © 2010 Robin Nicholson et al
Teach well all the school kiddies, they can then show up us old biddies
© GBE NGS ASWS 2019-2021
Make buildings part of syllabus for schools, give them real future life facing tools
Based partly on © 2010 Robin Nicholson et al
Greta asks why are we still day dreaming, whilst Friday School kids are chanting and screaming
