Thornleigh Passive House

December was a lot like summer (median temperature 22 °C). Outside temperatures ranged from 14 to 39 °C, while inside we were a comfortable 20 to 24 °C. The HRV was in the cooling season and the split system was on during the solar generation period for about half the month. During the second half of the month we experiment with only using the A/C & HRV (not openning windows in the evening). Temperature from inside and outside the house as the percentage of hours in 0.5 °C bins. I've scaled the temperature in hope that I will be able to use the temperature range for all months. Methods:  I have taken the 5 minutely data from the wirelessTag sensors and calculated the median temperature for each hour and determined the proportion of hours falling inside of the 20 - 25 °C target temperature (using the R functions 'aggregate' and 'hist'). Inside includes data from the wirelessTag sensors spread across nearly every room of the house. Outside is the data from t...

November was a lot like summer (median temperature 20 °C). Outside temperatures ranged from 13 to 38 °C, while inside we were a comfortable 19 to 25 °C. The HRV was mostly in the cooling season and the split system was on during the solar generation period for about half the month. Temperature from inside and outside the house as the percentage of hours in 0.5 °C bins. I've scaled the temperature in hope that I will be able to use the temperature range for all months. Methods:  I have taken the 5 minutely data from the wirelessTag sensors and calculated the median temperature for each hour and determined the proportion of hours falling inside of the 20 - 25 °C target temperature (using the R functions 'aggregate' and 'hist'). Inside includes data from the wirelessTag sensors spread across nearly every room of the house. Outside is the data from the wirelessTag sensors outside near the cubby house and HRV intake. The water wall and door data are not included. ...

October was a lot like September and alternated between hot and cold (median temperature 17 °C). Outside temperatures ranged from 8 to 30 °C, while inside we were a comfortable 19 to 24 °C. The HRV was mostly between seasons abd the split system was off for the entire month. Temperature from inside and outside the house as the percentage of hours in 0.5 °C bins. I've scaled the temperature in hope that I will be able to use the temperature range for all months. Methods:  I have taken the 5 minutely data from the wirelessTag sensors and calculated the median temperature for each hour and determined the proportion of hours falling inside of the 20 - 25 °C target temperature (using the R functions 'aggregate' and 'hist').

September alternated hot and cold(median temperature 17 °C). Outside temperatures ranged from 6 to 28 °C, while inside we were a comfortable 18 to 24 °C. The HRV was mostly between seasons abd the split system was off for the entire month. Temperature from inside and outside the house as the percentage of hours in 0.5 °C bins. I've scaled the temperature in hope that I will be able to use the temperature range for all months.

August started cold and ended hot (median temperature 15 °C). Outside temperatures ranged from 3 to 30 °C, while inside we were a comfortable 18 to 24 °C. The HRV was in heating season for the first half of the month, but entered the cooling season the for the last couple days. The split system was set to heat during peak solar production during the first half of the month, and off for the second half. Spring flowers were out in full force by the end of the month! Temperature from inside and outside the house as the percentage of hours in 0.5 °C bins. I've scaled the temperature in hope that I will be able to use the temperature range for all months.

July was as cold as June (median temperature 11 °C) but not quite as gloomy (9kWh/day of solar production). Outside temperatures ranged from 2 to 22 °C, while inside we were a comfortable 18 to 24 °C. The HRV was in heating season the entire month, and the split system was set to heat during peak solar production (not that we had a whole lot of sun in June) and set to heat to 18 °C overnight for the entire month. Temperature from inside and outside the house as the percentage of hours in 0.5 °C bins. I've scaled the temperature in hope that I will be able to use the temperature range for all months.
