Well Sleepy etc.
Antenna down at last. Last few PV panels have their 4th bolt in thanks to Omar...
Good day today 10kWh generated and 414kWh since install.
More or less ready for winter though nowhere near enough wood.

Fantastic.... looks better already. So glad I don't have to say I told you so, sometime in November!  |

Well not posted here in a while but there may be some interest in my Thermal IR pictures taken by Ivan on Friday. (Amy is right - a bit less hair than showing on his Avatar!) anyway here are a few from various angles...

Hi Sean
Wow, nice to know all your hard work with the insulation is working, I dread the day Ivan aims his camera at cactusville, it,ll probably melt
All the best

Hi Desp
yes Ivan didn't see any major problems. There is some thermal bridging between the chancel and the nave but otherwise he thought it was in general pretty good and the insulation was working well. Much better than Buckingham Palace apparently...

Hi Jonathan
I understand it is a relative scale but if I could get an absolute one I would be most interested. Ivan may know better - I have just put false colour on the bitmap image.

The temperature scale of the processed image is in degrees centigrade. Sean has taken the raw images - so the numbers presumably relates to digital 'steps', but I'm not sure what each step is.
The temperature indicated isn't exact unless you calibrate against the emissivity of the object you are looking at. Different materials have different emissivity, and as we're looking at composite materials (houses), it would be difficult to make a meaningful calibration.

Yes I have been a bit time constrained here. As Ivan says I have not downloaded the software just produced false coloured bit mapped images. Will have a go at producing a more calibrated image at a later stage.

But presumably the actual temperature is not of that much interest? You just want to see where the hot spots are. The chimney pot glowing red is a good point of reference and all we're really interested in is where the walls and roof are significantly warmer than ambient or other parts of the structure.
Since putting in the cavity insulation in November I've noticed a real lowering in gas usage for heating. And that's all the more impressive given that this year I ran the heating at 19'C during the day and we had a much colder January than last year (when I had to resort to winding down the thermostat to 17'C on the coldest days).

Look at all that lovely heat going up the chimney! There must be a way to capture that!

there are two chimneys one with a wood burning stove; the other with an open fire. You can see the one with the open fire (chancel end of the chapel) is considerably hotter. This is due to be replaced by a WBS in spring/summer this year so it will be interesting to see the improvement.
