Description
Even for those of us accustomed to living in the cold weather, the past decade has been marked by a combination of extreme cold and unusually high heating prices. It is unsurprising then that alternative fuels like wood pellets and energy saving devices like the Nest Thermostat have been in high demand.
In fact, my own interest in the IOT and OSHW as a whole was inspired in part by a desire to maximize the efficiency of a small pellet burner I installed in my basement a couple years ago. While my interest in the IOT has branched out into new directions, I find myself returning to the original project whenever the weather starts getting colder.
In short, enormous energy is wasted in either cooling or heating individual households and when residents try improving ventilation or insulation, the process relies more on intuition then on scientific data.
