How about a system that diverts hot waste water through a heat exchanger going to the furnace/water heater? |
|
|
//What is cheaper to keep heated, water or air? The answer is water, for it has a higher specific heat capacity.// |
|
|
Please explain this statement. A higher specific heat means that MORE energy is required to raise the temperature of the substace. |
|
|
Maintaining the temperature of a volume of substance is far more dependant on environment than it is on any intrinsic characteristics of the substance inself. A one liter glass pot of coffee and a one liter thermos of coffee are going to cool at significantly different rates. And a liter of coffee spilled on an ice flow is going to cool faster than either. |

lemme break this down for you. |
|
|
My hot water is included in the rent. |
|
|
Well, what if your electric company cuts you off, but not your water company? |
|
|
It's dependent on a lot of stuff, luitenant. |
