Heating, cooling, and battery temperature control are among the biggest energy consumers in electric buses today - and thus have a direct impact on range, availability, and operating costs.

Checking your equipment once a month helps catch small issues before they turn into expensive repairs. A routine keeps everything running smoothly and extends the life of the hardware. Managers should create a simple checklist for their maintenance staff to follow.

Common Wealth cited the example of the Warmer Homes consortium, led by Portsmouth city council, which was allocated 22m among 31 authorities over three years. This breaks down to about 450-650 homes per year, or 15-20 homes per local authority per year.

A pair of former Dyson engineers have raised millions of pounds to bring a battery-powered electric boiler to market, positioning it as a lower-cost, lower-disruption alternative to heat pumps for millions of UK homes. Wiltshire-based Luthmore was founded in 2022 by Craig Wilkinson and Martin Gutkowski, both ex-Dyson engineers who previously worked together on projects including the vacuum maker's abandoned electric car programme.

You may recall LiquidStack was one of the early players in two-phase immersion cooling, and first dunked servers into tanks of dielectric liquids to cool down crypto mining operations. Microsoft was among the first to trial LiquidStack's tech all the way back in 2021. Since then, the company has expanded its portfolio to include both single-phase and dual-phase immersion tanks, plus direct-to-chip cooling technologies, including a rather beefy 10MW modular coolant distribution unit (CDU).

Atlas Brew Works, a solar-powered brewery that serves craft beers, moved into the building in November. At most breweries, the heat that's generated from the brewing process would be vented outside. But in the new building, any hot water that the brewery doesn't reuse is sent into a heat exchanger, which transfers heat to the hot water loop for the apartments. (The water itself never mixes; tenants are not showering in brewery water.)

About half of the companies that deliver home heating oil to New Yorkers failed at least one inspection of truck gauges meant to ensure residents get the fuel they pay for, an analysis of records shows. More than 330,000 households in New York City - primarily in The Bronx and Manhattan - rely on home fuel oil to heat their homes during the winter. To make sure customers are not shortchanged, each year the New York Department of Consumer and Worker Protection inspects the gauges of all delivery trucks. Since mid-2023, inspectors have flunked the gauges on one in every 10 trucks they checked.

When temperatures hit below 20 degrees Fahrenheit and stay there for an extended period of time, there's a quick tip that home cooks can rely on to keep their kitchens in good working order all winter long: Simply open your under-the-sink cabinet doors at night, especially those attached to an outside wall. As it freezes, water trapped inside your pipes hardens and expands, filling the pipe with intense pressure that can create a crack at your pipe's weakest point.

February is here. The "New Year, New Me" energy has officially worn off, replaced by a much more realistic "New Year, Same Me, But Freezing" thanks to a very disrespectful wind chill a heating bill that's starting to look like a phone number.

Anker SOLIX E10 is a smart hybrid whole-home backup system that blends batteries, green solar power, and a smart generator into one coordinated setup. It is designed to keep an entire house running, not just a few circuits, and is rated for whole-home backup with a 200-amp connection when paired with its Power Dock, matching a typical US main panel.

All of the appliances and systems are brand-new: the HVAC, the lighting, the entertainment. Touch screens of various shapes and sizes control this, that, and the other. Rows of programmable buttons sit where traditional light switches would normally be. The kitchen even has outlets designed to rise up from the countertop when you need them, and slide away when you don't.

What's so incredible for us is that we succeeded at scale. We secured orders in multiple European cities, and the pumps started being installed, including in London,

You should buy a dehumidifier. It will almost certainly improve your home environment. Pulling moisture from the air helps banish condensation and mold, making it cheaper and easier to regulate the temperature in your house or apartment. There's a reason the chatter about dehumidifiers has grown so loud and sales are soaring; it's because they work. Whether you've seen a persuasive Reddit thread, a life hack on TikTok, or an expert guide to the best dehumidifiers, the hype is real.

The purpose of a humidifier is to increase and regulate the indoor air's moisture level. How this works is different depending on the season and temperature both inside and outside. Overall, though, a humidifier helps maintain a comfortable, healthy, and optimal humidity range of 30 to 50%. To create this environment, most humidifiers use water vapor or steam to help combat dryness caused by heating systems or harsh climates (which often happen indoors during winter).

The updated Building Emissions Saving Ordinance (BESO) requires sellers of single family homes or duplexes to complete at least six credits worth of upgrades before final sale or pay $2,500 to the city, which is then funneled to the buyer upon completion of the upgrades. For many sellers, installing a heat pump is the easiest and most efficient way to earn all six credits in one fell swoop, while also significantly increasing the appeal of the property, notes Grimsich, CEO of 1-888-Heat-Pumps.
