I bought a piece of land that is too far away from the grid to make it reasonable to connect. I will be building a Timber frame home with SIP panels to enclose it. It should be very energy efficient. Suggestions on a strong solar system from the ground up? Assuming 1500 to 2000KWH a month?

I am going to use an outside wood boiler to heat water and the house.

My building manager says that keeping the heat on is more energy efficient than turning it on and off. To what extent is that true?

I mean, I believe him -- it's not like he's getting kickbacks from PSEG. I just want to know to what extent this is true. I turn on the heat in my living room and usually keep it on throughout the day. It stays on if I go out for a short walk, but I wonder if I should turn it off for longer spans (going out to lunch for 1.5-2 hours, for example). When should I turn it off? I have a PTAC, for reference.

Reducing sizes+building more energy-efficient houses to combat climate change

I was wondering has anyone seen substitutional research on this topic?

I tried to dig into this topic, but generally, there doesn't seem to be many articles/research about it compared to other solutions. It seems to me to this one of the best methods as the technology isn't significantly complicated and it can save homeowners money in the long run. Also, most of the electricity is used for heating and cooling and I assume this will continue to increase over the coming years.

Energy efficient computer build for Vanlifer?

Hey there! I'm a full time Vanlifer living in a van 24/7 I'm doing some upgrades to my 2015 Sprinter van and I've decided to build a desk an a designated PC area. My question to you guys is what type of equipment I could use and still be energy efficient.

I'm working with 600ah worth of battery power. I have thought about running a direct 12v current PC but modern motherboards say no.

Any price specs.
