Cooling tips

[big-all]

Thanks, but doing all that made me sweat like a horse.

i should have said its for when your doing a days work away from home or in a hot location like an attic or just without shade

Nice

Exactly

I suggest, you go back to school, and see if you can learn some very basic physics!

Insulation, on it's own, can only delay the inevitable, of the insulated item increasing or cooling to match the external ambient temperature. The only way to avoid the inevitable, is by heat, or cooling input, which ever is needed.

Well yes, if the external ambient temperature is constant over a long period.
...it's a bit more complex in real life - the external ambient temperature changes, so delay may be all you need - slowing the rate of heat transfer in both directions.

There is this thing (which is pretty much inevitable) which has something of an effect on solar gain - here's a link to learn about it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night

Massive swerve from the chicanery-meister!

Tell me how I'm wrong, Boyo?

Wrong about what? I criticised your analogy in relation to my post, i.e. it makes no comparable sense. If you have to freeze something then it will thaw out (at room temperature) unless you keep it frozen.

Do fridges and freezers have insulation in them I wonder? Does the space shuttle burn it's occupants to death as it re-enters the atmosphere? Do warm blooded inhabitants on earth have a way of regulating their temperature I wonder?

Insulation, just delays the inevitable

Nonsense. 24 hour daily temperature cycles vary enormously. Having a well insulated house is hugely beneficial in regulating internal temperature.

Solar gain is definitely a complicating factor when looking at an idealised scenario.

What do you mean?

I was thinking about the theory that, over time, the inside temperature would equal the outside temperature. But then you have to factor in the masonry getting heated up each day by the sun. And that's before you add in the solar gain through the windows. It just makes it all a lot more complicated.

...and of course night time.

Incidentally, my masonry and roof are cool to the touch indoors, when the sun is beating down on them outside. And it's not because of ice lollies in the cavity.

What is it then?

You seem to have gone all quiet regards your earlier nonsense...

The stupid consecutive governments have put in place building regs for keeping homes warm without one thought to how they will keep them cool.

Perhaps you need to read this.

Everything You Need To Know About Building Regulations Part L​

Part L of the building regulations is a huge document dealing with energy efficiency in commercial and residential buildings, and covers aspects as varied as central heating, insulation, cooling and air conditioning, ventilation, lighting, and space heating.

People have to remember noseall is a master builder . Just remind them noseall what your qualifications are and in what trade

I tried to give you a nice simple example of how your blanket assertion that insulation doesn't delay the inevitable, and I demonstrated that it often does. Maybe my example wasn't simple enough for you?

Nosey, all you had to say was - "yes, R&C, you may have a point about insulation in the scenario that you mention. Placing an ice lolly in an insulated cool box will actually delay the inevitable - ie. the lolly melting."

But instead, you always have to be a complete arrs!
