USA and the UK are banning this and insurance companies won't insure them anymore. Also when buying a house inspector's can't see if there is a problem with the beams and rafters. Leaks tend to run down the top of the insulation and rots the wood where you can't inspect. I've seen roofs lifted off house's too strip out this stuff. Also it is very flammable compared to rock wool.
Thanks for making things nigh incomprehensible to the consumer. Great job! Fantastic! It's bad enough that retailers continue to sell both products labelled with the old system and those with the new 2021 system, but there is also no coherence nor any simple explanations for the attribution of a rating. If a 4W bulb is rated G (2021) and an 8W bulb is rated D (2021), I know I'm missing something. Is it a ratio of energy draw to luminous output? Probably, but they don't say. Thank you, genius Laptop Class! Thank you for your brilliant ideas and superlative problem-solving abilities!
dude in eu about bulbs, you have 4w bulb G and 8 wat bulb D ,but they are not same doag, there is lumin number how bright its lighting, pick lumins first and the K variant color more k more white it would be. it is shown on packaging. i myself pick lumins the k which i need at home and than it goes out buying less W as it always will be lower as in time they get better especially led.
@@demegagamer0338 so probably that mini display made in china or india. you should get way less than 2wat. and you 1000wat psu is f cause maybe buy better psu? psu also has better same wat lets say bronze gold etc. your psy probably than it needs 1000W it sucks 2000W from socket than you will start to think what the meaning of those graphs on psu :D and you will find they cost way more
What about now with this never ending inflation? How much did it cost you over the year of 2021 and how is it going so far in 2022? I'd be very curious to know as we're thinking going for an EV.
Hi, the dealer should have already deducted the grant amount from the car's purchase price before you bought it. You can check if they're registered here: www.seai.ie/technologies/electric-vehicles/buying-an-ev/find-a-dealer/
I agree that it's way too expensive still .even with the 3000 euro grant ...(battery and panels) Most you can put up is six panels without planning..you would save about 400 euro a year after outlaying seven or eight thousand euro ..from a ten thousand euro system id say half of that is profit for the installer who installs it in a day..nice money if you can get it..other country's are half the price to get put up.planning should be changing as there's a bill going through at the moment to abolish the six panel limit before you have to apply for planning....who knows when this will come through.nobody is going to go solar pv untill the planning and prices are better sorted.
As per usual the criminal want there pound of flesh. There should be no red tape, you should be able to put as many as you want up and you 100% should get paid in full for what you put back into the system which I've just found out you can't do in this dumpster fire of a country🤣 they want you to go green but they don't want you free and off grid. Cake and eating spring to mind
@@Mackymcd thank you for your reply. I would imagine so especially with our darker days returning around 10% efficiency. That is my understanding at least
Adding foil insulation to the rafters of the attic can retain heat AND reflect heat in the attic so its not boiling (your attic contents also) your attic nor meaning its freezing in the winter (and letting all that heat content out)
I realise that anyone in a ultra low BER rating is interested in upgrading to a better BER but there seems less answers on those who are in relatively modern homes. There were lots of homes built during the (recentish) boom.
Which builder is following BER rating new houses correctly as per law? Who is scrutinised whether builder is following BER standards? . All hypocrites.law and rules for only normal people.
From 1 November 2019, new building standards will apply to all new residential dwellings (houses or apartments). New dwellings will typically require a Building Energy Rating (BER) of A2. This compares with the current requirement of a rating of A3 for new residential dwellings. But most of the builder homes posted on daft are A3. Is an exception for big builders???????

Overall, I'm not sure what's going to change. I've typically noticed that the jump from A+ to A++ for example costs a lot more to buy the appliance with the running costs being negligible between the two. Obviously now those A++ appliances will likely be B rated instead
Got home insulated under the warmer homes scheme a few years ago and mould has been forming on walls, ceiling and around windows, why, never has an issue until house was insulated
Why has mould been forming in my home since I got house insulated under the warmer homes scheme a couple of years ago, I never had mould issues until I got the work done
Thanks for posting this interesting video. You made some great points. I also think uptake would be higher if there were more charge points, as well as more than just one fast charger in in each location, to avoid single points of failure. Seeing more charge points everywhere also builds confidence for people who are considering switching.
A better name for a BEV is a Charge Depleting Electric Vehicle. "Electric Vehicle" means that it is propelled by electric motors. "Charge Depleting" means that you "charge" is by storing electricity in a battery, and continuously (more or less) deplete that charge while driving. And its range is how far it drives before depleting it all. An HEV is a not a Charge Depleting EV. It is a Charge Sustaining Electric Vehicle. You don't charge it, it maintains an average level of charge itself (more in the next paragraph) and uses that charge to make the gas engine more efficient. Since it doesn't deplete the charge, talking about its electric range is pointless. Most of the charge sent to an HEVs battery comes from the engine driving both the wheels, and a generator, at the same time. Not from regenerative braking. A typical gas engine might be 25% to 30% efficient while generating enough power to maintain a cruising speed, but can be 40% efficient if it generates more than that. Even with losses associated with the chargeing cycle, the 30% to 60% increase in gasoline utilization results in a net savings of gas.
