Hands up those that do not have a thermometer and just opened the back
windows when they got in from work to "let some air in"?

My hoouse stat tells nme inside tem[ps and I have a mercutry termotere
as part of a vinateg barometer

Outsode I use lakenheath, mildenhall or Cambridge airfields via th
linux weather app to see whats what



Such unneeded effort IMHO as there there is not much you can do about
it:-)

1. I know when it is hot
2. People in the street tell you it is hot (the same pillocks that tell
you when it is raining)
3. Weather forecasts tell you when it will be hot.
4. It would be a **** of a job to change the thermal mass of my house.

Actually simply casting a big concrete block inside the house would do it


But not very well.
It would be far better to have air channels in it so you could get energy
in and out when you wanted.


Much better to have a room full of road base crushed
rock on a metal grid at the bottom for an air chamber.

Problem is with your tiny houses, that takes a lot of space.
