    lol. admitted defeat, there is no shame in being wrong. You just have to learn from you mistakes!

    Defeat? You've defeated the laws of physics? Impressive.

    I will admit to being wrong about something - I thought Forum trolls were a thing of the past. You have proven me wrong though and I hold my hand up to learning that idiots like you still exist.

    At no point have I questioned the laws of physics you just have no understanding of modern technology and how it works.

    Troll?? Bit hyhypocritical coming from you, especially as you have not one made a useful post about anything

  • You clearly do not understand how modern construction works, you build a huge thermal store...
    I wish that was how modern construction works. Normally it's just whack a quick cavity wall up, punch a few holes in it for services (don't bother to fill them in, it's "ventilation") and there you have it! A house!

    He certainly doesn't understand how a discussion forum works and simply dismisses any opinion that is different from his theoretical, unjustifiable ideology with repeated childish personal insults. He simply is not intelligent enough to debate any issue sensibly.

    Best to add this disillusioned 'salesman to the gullible' to your ignore list.

    Yes, I'll admit I got rather drawn in to the pointless "discussion". I can hold my head up knowing I am right, but am ashamed I took the bait when I read back. Live & learn - well, some of us do ;)

    youtwo are the ones who reduce to personal insults first. It is a common trend on here you two and a couple of others just badmouth all progression. I am not a salesman of any kind. I run a construction company and you two remind me of a M&E contractor we used recently who had no understanding of modern technology (he was in his 50s which made me wonder if he was going to be anygood) and just harped on about out dated heating methods etc etc. We all had a good laugh about him afterwards after getting a contractor who understood modern heating systems.

    Thought I heard something making a whining noise. Must have been mistaken.

    You are wrong, there are circumstances.

    If a well insulated house has a large thermal store, whether this is thick solid walls with heavy external insulation or a large concrete slab (again well insulated) if you allow this thermal store to cool it will take hours of heating before the house actually becomes warm so you need to maintain the temperature in this store to get the highest efficiencies.

    Your statements are narrow minded, and clearly you have no understanding of modern construction methods, heating and how to achieve the highest efficient levels.

    No actually got an a in a level physics.

    What complete rubbish :rotfl:

    The warmer a house is the faster energy is lost FACT

    Energy used reheating the house will always be less than the energy which would have been used to maintain a constant temperature in the house FACT

    If you think you know otherwise you may want to have a browse at this
