    You really need to read my whole blog https://ecohousethailand.com/ to fully understand the degree to which insulation have been designed into the building. 

     

    Ok lots of  insulation   but how does the room get down to 26 degrees in the first place ?

     

    so after looking at your rather impressive (expensive) "eco" house website

     

    The answer  ????

    Air-conditioning:

    Aircon serves two purposes, firstly to cool and secondly to dehumidify the house. I briefly considered using DC aircon units, but they require dedicated solar panels and dedicated batteries, they are also very expensive to buy in Thailand. So DC aircon for a spare bedroom would have solar panels and batteries that were not being used if the room was empty. I prefer to pool my solar production and storage to use it where it is needed.

    The main concern with running aircon off a solar system is how to run aircon at night off batteries. My system utilizes a hybrid inverter so I can always pull from the grid if I need more power. However, I want to design my house to be off grid for normal use.

    The choice of aircon units: I chose the smallest BTU units I could find using the smallest number of watts. I chose 8,500 BTU Daikin Super Smile Inverter II it uses 640w in normally running and an “intelligent eye” system which tracks movement and reduces power if the room is unoccupied. 5 units installed was ฿100,000

    This indoor/outdoor temperature reading is taken with the air con off:

    How does the inside temp get down to  26 degrees whilst its 45 degrees outside  without using aircon ?

  3. And the "Special"   for Thai customers ( why only Thais ? )

    a bottle of Sangsom  or some other " *** 285 "whisky" with 4 bottles of mixers and ice for only 700 baht.

    Perhaps things have improved, perhaps not,

    No not much they still seem to use only 2 voice actors  the male having an unnatural deep "handsome voice"   with lots of "ohh hoy" expresions thrown in.

    The Thai's dont seem to mind probably because thats the way its always been , but it puts me right off watching a  foreign film dubed into Thai.

  5. Sometimes it can take a long time weeks or months  to finally get the entire file....sometimes it never gets to 100%  it all depends how many people/machines are "seeding" that particular file if no one is seeding then no one gets the file..if the only computer seeding the file is turned off or not connected to the internet no one gets the file.

     

    Seeding just means sharing, the torrent client works out who has what parts and who needs those parts

    eventually everyone should end up with all parts  but only as long as  parts are still being shared/seeded.
