The HRV was mostly between seasons but flirting with the heating season, so the split system mostly off or set to 21 °C heating. With the sun mostly hiding behind the rain clouds the rainwater tank is full, but the solar production was lower than typical. 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. We have made a decision to keep the house above the WHO recommended 18 °C rather than the passive house standard of 20 °C. 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'...
