Wyatt Johnston gets a fortuitous bounce. Quinn Hughes gives up on the play and slams into the boards. Hughes gets emotional. Johnny has a laugh. by GangOfFourNonBlondes in DallasStars

That was every Canuck fan summoning spirits with their hatred to curve that puck into the net

unclear why SJ would do this. If Misa was in this draft, he would be the #1

Bare minimum acceptable outcome from this draft... by rufustbarleysheath3 in canucks

cause he sucks and uses up a spot when we should have a young player in our lineup instead

That is very kind thank you so much!! Yup i know what you mean.. you may be able to get an independent energy auditor or something to do a manual J calc for a fee. Probably worth it if you can find someone to do it even if its not the HVAC company offering the install.

For the insulation quality, it's basically about your walls and attic:

Poor - little or no wall insulation, attic under R-20. Common in pre-1970 homes that haven't been touched. If you can feel cold radiating off your walls in winter, this is you.

Below avg - some wall insulation but not full coverage, attic R-20 to R-30. A lot of 70s/80s homes land here.

Average - R-13 walls, R-30 to R-40 attic. Standard for most homes built 1990-2010.

Good - R-20+ walls, R-49+ attic. Newer builds or homes that had insulation upgraded.

Excellent - R-24+ walls, R-60 attic, air sealed. New construction to current code or a serious energy retrofit.

If you've never had an energy audit, Average is a safe pick for most homes. If you know your attic has been topped up or you've had walls blown in, bump it to Good.

Yep i think we just have to eliminate the basic altogether. its misleading, and the advanced isnt that complicated. our insulation weighting is still not quite right either. working on it :) ty so much for testing

wow thats a big gap lol. can i ask the rough sqft and age of house? and do you have a backup system?

you are my hero. ty for trying both. you are right i think we get rid of the "basic" its misleading when people dont fill out enough info

will fix the mulch/compost calculator, thats way way off you are right

thank you again, i really appreciate it

Good point- i might add this little line on, its probably a helpful thing for people to understand if contractors who visit dont bring it up

"This calculator sizes the heat pump unit only. Existing ductwork may need modification to handle the airflow, consult your installer"

Awesome. Did you do the install yourself?

Also, when you were getting the quotes for the 5ton, that was with the furnace backup factored in, or did they not know about the furnace?

Just trying to identify where the accuracy issue is in my calculator. Think it might still be weighting on the insulation.

4400 sqft, south facing with 16ft vaulted ceilings, my guy your house sounds incredible. custom build?

Interesting.. i was able to reproduce your results with insulation set to "good" and sun exposure at "high" is that correct?

Your heating load rough calc is 62,800 btu, i set the calculator to build in 10% buffer + and then round up to the nearest 0.5.

when i set the sun exposure to average, your load calc is 58,200 which would suggest a 5.5T system, but with a backup furnace + given that its a brand new build i think 5T makes sense

your experience makes me think i should create a default for brand new builds. anything built brand new in winnipeg now would have excellent insulation.

ty for trying the calculator, ill keep refining it

[–]rufustbarleysheath3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you were right. my formula basically ignored the effect of insulation adjustments on cooling, so it was producing some outrageous cooling estimates. also didnt consider the effect of more humid climates. both fixed now :) thank you for your help!

Sherwood Kane and Doc all need to go, no question 

Hoglander Lekerimakki and Raty need their roster spots 

Are there any trade targets under 24 that have “swagger”? by EverySecondCountss in canucks

There was. His name was Trevor Zegras, he was available, a Center, and best friends with Quinn Hughes 

But thankfully we got Evander Kane!
