Obsessed with heat pumps but anything to do with energy. Also water.

I’ve known Sumit for years and he never struck me as what I would call “optimistic”, so it was a bit surprising when he said he was writing this. He does an excellent job explaining what he means in this extract www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...
‘I became an optimist the night my wife died’: a science writer on loss and letting go of rationalism
Sumit Paul-Choudhury had always prided himself on his critical thinking, until his wife was diagnosed with cancer and he was forced to rethink his life from scratch

It’s been equally interesting doing the opposite in Greece. People will often cool down to as a standard 18-20c in summer when we found 22/23c to be acceptable

I find 19° is ok for my fingers but at 18° I too am reaching for my half-finger gloves!
I think the 2014 UKHSA review is worth respecting; they have stood by that recommendation since. I think people should be discouraged from going below 18°

It should be manageable - but it puts the onus on manufacturers to make quieter heat pumps (which they have already been doing).
Fortunately, it seems that having lots of heat pumps on a street doesn’t lead to big cumulative noise impacts either
