Me and my husband have recently been investigating <a href="http://www.intelligentenergysolutions.com/heat-pumps---ground-source_c65.aspx" rel="nofollow">heat pumps</a> for our home. The main reason for this is because I heard that the heat dispersing properties could eliviate the usual outbursts of excema I get from tradational skirting radiators, so far it's been successful!sarah-jackson17https://www.blogger.com/profile/11409071675181044211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090755192579086624.post-76259855889348214392011-08-19T14:48:01.269-04:002011-08-19T14:48:01.269-04:00No I haven't published the program anywhere. ...No I haven't published the program anywhere. The code for the stamp is fairly simple. The home monitor program really controls everything at it tells the stamp what sensor to poll and when. The BS2P just listens for a command, reads the appropriate sensor and sends back the raw temp reading along with the status of all the zone dampers. The 1-wire network is configured as a star (which isn't ideal) and presented some issues getting it to function correctly.<br /><br />Please send any notes about your DHW/Attic Air project to Gary at <a href="www.builditsolar.com" rel="nofollow">BuildItSolar</a>Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090755192579086624.post-79639210966276090272011-08-18T12:26:48.553-04:002011-08-18T12:26:48.553-04:00Workin on some similar projects.

I use 1-wire buttons.<br /><br />My son did a high school science project on "effects of roof construction on solar gain". We found that the most cost effective way to decrease solar gain was to use a radiant heat barrier.<br /><br />But now I'd like to heat domestic hot water with attic air. I have a project in progres.<br /><br />Do you have an email address?<br />James Jones md, phd<br />Jacksonville Flsenojjoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12223892375495682352noreply@blogger.com
