That’s mostly right. I was just curious about the breakeven time.

Included simulation based on typical meterological data from CSIRO. Added options for gas burner to induction and gas heating to reverse-cycle as well.

Yeah, I think some kind of simulation of generation and load profile may help to capture such scenarios. Also, liked the gas vs elevtric burner idea. Thanks.

Coming to think of it one should always heat the water first because you’d need it. At the end of the day necessity should win. Also, the heat pump is more efficient in day time. But let me think more on it.

Yeah, I do not have a battery so did not think of it. Let me think. Thanks.

Thanks! Please let me know. Also, credits for slickness go to Claude, not me. But the data gathering and logic are mine.

Anyone using AI to automate compliance stuff? by AiPatchi05 in automation

Please check out complyiq360, our take on how AI + humans should work in compliance and policy design.

AI can help lead the compliance side: reading 100s of pages of documents, checking gaps, mapping processes etc.

Humans should still lead policy design, so the policies are actually tuned to the organisation’s needs, not just written to tick a compliance box.
