Nice one. Looks very convincing 😄 If you need that tool and haven’t found it by now, there is https://github.com/liquidz/antq#clojure-cli-tools-11111139-or-later

Thanks! Works great. As a tool. (It went mad when used as a main.)

wow things getting real

Here it’s -10 and expected to get to -20 during the night. Nothing exceptional with that, but it will probably cost about €90 to keep the house warm one day.

> but it will probably cost about €90 to keep the house warm one day. I know several people living in buildings that were built within the last 5-6 years and they hadn’t even turned on their heating as of two weeks ago. Anyway, it is all district heating anyway, so it shouldn’t be too expensive once they do, but still quite amazing to think about what a difference proper insulation can make in these times.

We live in a quite new-built house. Compared to most houses it is very well insulated.

Detached housing may be different.

My friends live in terraced houses in Ørestad, one of the newer districts in Copenhagen.

Been following an interesting Youtube channel for some years now where people try to build/live in alternative houses. One of the recurring themes is that the most energy-efficient form of detached housing is a so-called earthship, where you bury half the house in the ground. This works like a coolant in the summertime and helps insulate against the cold in winter.

Given the cost of energy here I might be able to reach break even quickly by starting to dig my house down in the earth.

Greek apartments built in the 70s (very common in downtown Athens where I am) are extremely bad insulated. Plus for some reason they have tile or stone floors which all in all results in discomfort. Like, my fingers freeze by midday even if outside is a sunny 16 degrees.
