you should toss in some room dampers, and use that heat pump to pre heat your water for your hot water heater and let me know when/if this works for that sort of a set up.
Does this concept thermostat understand multiple rooms, and that some rooms may be in the sun and others might not? can it control room dampers? how about handle a complex ground source heatpump, gas furnace, water heater, water heater preheat, etc setup? any sort of communication protocol?
Sorry forgot we were in the residential market and not the commercial. Other than missing some really helpful new install features, i agree that looking at these heuristics would be helpful, but it would be helpful to have some advanced features as well.
It is possible to operate a BWR safely, but it is expensive to be testing, operating, and maintain dual sets of redundant gear. It is time consuming to test that it will fail over correctly.
I agree that the BWRs could be better designed, but if operated and maintained correctly they will be safe.
I would challenge you to find a power source for japan that is as dense as a nuke plant and can provide the base load requirements of Tokyo.
move that north to Minneapolis MN, and let me know how well it works covered in snow. Do you have gas appliances? try converting them to electric equivalents and re-running the math. Also heat in Alabama winter is nothing like the heat needed in a MN winter. I don't have my ASHRAE data handy, but i'd bet the summer cooling is similar. Probably only 25% more hours needed down there.
Also there is the capital investment, and the city ordinances to be sorted out. ($170* 14) + (30 * $90 in batteries) + ($1000 invert-ers) + ($600 for the electrician to do the install) + ( $200 for the building permit) + ($100 for all the copper wire) = ~$6000 I'm making up the values, but hopefully i'm closeish although I could easily see this costing north of $20,000 all said and done. I think you are being aggressive about how many months you will get to sell back and what rate, but $6000 / ($4200-$200) = 1.5 years in payback. Depending on the life of the standard car batteries with those sorts of loads, it may or may not work out. I would think that would depend on your peek loading.
So I think you need to take a much more measured approach to this and actually find out how many hours you can expect to be over capacity, how many cooling hours you have, and exactly how much power everything uses. It may turn out that you have to spend $10,000 to save $1000 a year, with a 5 year life on the batteries.
Yes I'm looking at doing the whole load with solar, not just offsetting some of my bill.
the open licensed code is out for 3.x. It's just not useful and to be fair, 3.x has no place on a phone, it wouldn't work well on the small screens. 4.x will work on all screen sizes, from 3" to 70" (of course that really means like 480x240 to 1080p). anyways, I'm fairly sure there is a precedent of not having source out for a new version until there is an official google branded product shipping with it. This makes some sense, or just about everyone would already be running CM8.0-RC1 by now.
last i knew greasemonkey scripts could be loaded like addons on chrome[1], there is adblock[2] for chrome as well. I'll give you stumbleupon, I can't seem to find an addon for it, not that I'm really sure what is up with stumbleupon, but there you go.
This is my issue with the leaf (apart from living in an apartment with no way to recharge it), The range is what, 40 miles? okay, is that 40 miles, at 45MPH with no accessories? or is that at 30-60 MPH slow-go rush traffic with the heat on when it is -25F out? MY work commute is 32 Miles round trip and is a mix of 55-60 MPH slow-go rush and 35 MPH side roads with minimal stopping. It also routinely gets to be -10F in the mornings and evenings here and we usually have a continuous week or two per winter where the temp doesn't reach above 0F. It also gets to 104F with a 84F dew point in the summers around here(granted record high dew point but still, Jacksonville FL gets to similar). So yes, if i want to pop off to the store(about a 2 mile add to my route home) I would really like to know if i have 6 miles, or 3 miles left. I tend to take the same routes all the time, so i'd know that if it says 30 miles, here one mile down it will say 26, and i can adjust it's mileage number accordingly.
Not like that, but multiple users of the device. I would really like this on my tablet. An unlocked account on my tablet for anyone to use, that has no access to my gmail account.
If you look, you need a work e-mail from a participating employer, and a code from them. Now, i'm willing to bet the company of ~50 employees i work for is unlikely to be on that list, considering the last time we did office upgrades, we bought retail boxes of office for all 4 of us in my office. Also the cost of office is nothing compared to the cost of the CAD software I use daily, and no one thinks anything of shelling out for Inventor, and AutoCAD every year and to be honest, office, and autocad are seen as costs to making me productive, much like a hard hats, ear plugs, and ice water for construction workers.
why is it that no one seems to know about it, yet it seems to be massive. It had some neat features last time i played with databases that were not part of the default mySQL. Atomic commits, cascading commits, ohh and easier set up.
does it have a built in scripting language? how about the ability to lock views, code, and other parts down via password? Will it open that vendor selection tool that is a locked down spreadsheet, that uses VBA to talk to some dll? I'm sorry but the professional world seems to use these features of excel quite a lot.
so industrial designers are not creative professionals? how about manufacturing engineers that have to figure out how to actually make what the industrial designer thought up. Architects? Programmers/software engineers?
fire up some streaming music and let me know how long the battery lasts. If i use local only music, or no music on my phone(t-mobile myTouch 4G) it goes 1.5-2 days.
I get around 10 hours if I turn on the wifi and fire up pandora.
I'm waiting for the database tests, heavy heavy multi-threading, say a 6 way x264 encode in the background while playing a 4 thread game, or some other such load.
does them running hot mean i can crank up the inlet temp to the CPUs? if i can i may not need mechanical cooling on my datacenter at all, and can get away with just indirect/direct cooling, and economizer. Something like an allowable inlet temp of 80F or 85F will in some locations mean I need no mechanical cooling, and can run outside air 80-95% of the year.
why would the font be smaller on a 1080p screen? 12pt font should still be 12/72ths of an inch high and just use more pixels.
The only things using uncommon gestures on my phone would be apps that i set up that way or games. even then most of the games still use a few common ones, pinch zoom for example.
I'm similar, I use gmail search at home for my personal stuff, but at work i have to use outlook. i get info for 3-10 "projects" a day, many times things like "here is the info for that job we discussed on the phone ${info}" with a very generic title, this makes it almost impossible to search for later. I would love to just tag it, but outlook sucks at making a new tag, compared to gmail.
Anyways, if microsoft ever figures out goo local searching of 2+ years of mail then i'll move back to searching there as well. As a note, google can search 7 years of mailing lists in seconds, i'd bet outlook would choke on the same amount of data.

Like running... or any number of other normally healthy activities.
and if not, they should be liable for manslaughter when a product kills someone.
Hmm is a ring "slide to unlock"? how about the rotary unlock from CM6+? what if it starts at the edge of the screen instead of 1/8 the way in?

must seat 4 with room to move, and have AC and a sat-nav running during the whole of travel.

explain to me how to get a CD on a shelf at walmart with out being on a big label? how about target? sam goody(do those still exist?)?

so make it 7% of gross income. This also has the side effect of making hundreds of shell companies unattractive.

is obj-C dynamically typed like python or like vba/.net?
like python is fine, like VBA is a nightmare.
