[QUOTE="thesilentone, post: 4808268, member: 6194"] Interesting topic. Going back to the original post and what is most efficient. I'm unsure if one exists, however a tool that can take each heat demand and thermal loss, and calculate the thermal requirements to suit water/radiator or under floor heating temps would be very useful. A mass balance. If you are installing a log-burner, then this in conjunction with a heat store is a great solution. However, how do you exploit heat loss, re-circulation and transfer. Looking to all areas where heat can be scavenged (washing machine, dish washer, shower drain, bath drain etc) and run this through heat exchanger before dumping (or alternatively dumping if having a negative effect). it would be very interesting to see the end result of a mass balance from all these appliances and what we could effectively use. You wouldn't use the water from the washing machine to wash the cutlery, but put through a heat exchanger before drain and hey-presto.... [/QUOTE]
