Here’s what I saw today when I went out to check the weather:
For those of you imperial challenged:
And of course zero clouds and clear sky. Time to look for some additional blankets…
One of the nicest features of our new HVAC zone system is module called balanced controller. Basically it’s an algorithm calculating heat demand in every zone and opening and closing registers accordingly.
Here you can see that one of the zones (middle one) was fully open while remaining two were just barely moved, Then when this zone was satisfied in it’s heat demand it was closed and the first one was fully open to direct all hot heat into this zone to shorten furnace running time to the minimum.
I don’t have any statistic data to prove my theory yet but it seems to me that such behavior shortens greatly overall running time and simply saves us money.
Today I saw funny thing on the washing machine description flyer:
20 washing modes (e.g. mini 30, hand washing, baby, mix 40, wool, cotton).
Since when do we wash children in washing machines?
Short two loops done this morning to warm things up before so boring day at the office. Each of them covered 2.5 miles of hilly gravel road and 1.7 mile of paved one treated mostly as recovery part :-). Main focus was placed on keeping cadence on the steady level around 80 rpm. As you can see average cadence of 81 pretty much nailed it down.
