The shape-changing material in the process of unrolling in response to a change in temperature.

Recent heatwaves have struck areas like Northern Europe and the Pacific Northwest that have traditionally gotten by without much air conditioning. As people in those regions adjust to the new reality, we’ll likely see a change in electricity use, with surges in demand typical of locales further to the south. The strain those changes place on the grid can add to the challenge of rapidly moving away from fossil fuels.

Materials that passively heat or cool an environment can cut down on the demand for energy by handling some of these needs without requiring the use of energy. Some of these materials reflect incoming sunlight to keep it from heating a space, while others actively radiate heat away into space, which is great if you’re only worried about heat. But many of these areas experience seasons and have times where getting rid of stray heat will also boost energy use.

Now, a team of researchers at Nankai University has figured out a way to have it all: warming in cold air and cooling once things get hot—all without needing any energy input.

residential natural gas meters

Three natural gas distributors issued a report this week detailing plans to convert the UK’s residential gas system to a hydrogen delivery system. UK firms Northern Gas Networks and Cadent, as well as Norwegian gas firm Equinor, wrote that the proposal (PDF) was technically feasible. They also suggested an initial roll-out of the program to 3.7 million homes and 400,000 businesses in Northern England could commence as soon as 2028.

“This project could represent the foundations of a deliverable, large-scale, deep decarbonization of heat policy for the UK government,” the gas firms’ report reads.

The plan calls for the conversion of residential natural gas pipes to higher-pressure pipes that can move hydrogen gas. Although hydrogen gas tends to be flammable at a wider range of temperatures than natural gas, the report states that “a 100 percent hydrogen gas grid represents an acceptable risk compared to the current natural gas grid.”

  • In February, the US Cattlemen’s Association (USCA) filed a petition to the USDA arguing that lab-grown meat startups should not be able to call their products “meat,” since they do not come from slaughtered animals. But this week, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) asked the USDA to regulate the startups as if they were traditional meat producers.
  • While so-called “cultured meat” products are not available in restaurants or supermarkets yet, a number of startups are attempting to make it more commercially feasible.
  • The debate will likely intensify.

For the first time, a major part of the US beef industry is taking aim at tech startups creating cultured meat — also known as lab-grown meat or clean meat — that’s grown in a lab using animal cells.

The industry is divided on how to do this, however.

Boiler and central heating issues are common during cold weather, however, you could save yourself from frozen pipes with a quick trick.

An expert has advised that taking just 30 seconds tonight to do this simple hack, which anyone can do, will significantly lower your risk of frozen pipes.

It involves tending to plumbing pipes which are placed behind closed doors, such as in kitchen cabinets, as these are most vulnerable to freezing.

Simply opening up the closed doors separating your pipes from the rest of your home can help you to prevent frozen pipes, an expert from AS Plumbing and Gas told Express.co.uk.

“Being behind closed doors, kitchen plumbing frozen pipes are vulnerable, as the heat from the rest of the house can’t reach them,” said the expert.

He advised a simple solution to protect these particular pipes: “Open the cabinet doors to allow heat to circulate into the cabinets.”

If your home is particularly chilly, a strategically placed fan or heater may also be able to help.

“A fan or portable heater pointed inside the cabinet helps circulate warm air,” the expert explained.

Why do pipes freeze?

Frozen pipes occur when the temperatures outside drop to below zero degrees Celsius, meaning the water in your pipes become frozen too.

The water then expands within the pipe as it freezes, putting you at risk of burst or leaking pipes – and a sky high plumber bill to boot.

Frozen pipes are naturally more likely when the weather outside is particularly cold, for instance during this weekend’s snow forecast.

Is it cheaper to leave your central heating on all the time or turn it on and off? The issue is a popular debate.

Some believe it is better to control your thermostat by turning it up and down during the day, or putting it on a timer.

But what do the experts think about this issue? Sadly for some, Caitlin Bent – an energy expert at the Energy Saving Trust (EST), isn’t buying the “keep it on” philosophy.

“It’s a common myth that leaving the heating on low all day will help you save energy,” she told The Sun.

”In reality, it’s best to use a timer or programmer to make sure your home is only heated when you’re there.

Boiler and central heating systems can often play up in cold weather, and this is due to the effect the falling temperature has on your pipes.

However, you can easily prevent problems before they even happen with a simple, cheap heating solution: pipe lagging.

Pipe lagging is a type of insulation which can be purchased for as little as £5.10 for a roll, with prices increasing for larger quantities.

The useful video above explains how you might be able to apply this lagging to your pipes yourself, without the need to call out an expert.

Pipes in the loft, in garages or on the outside of the home are the most necessary to apply lagging to.

Pipes in an airing cupboard, or under sinks should also be fitted with lagging to avoid future damage.

Lengths should be cut at an angle in order to join up together at the joints of the pipes, ensuring there is no gap for cold air to get in.

Once fixed around the pipes, lagging can be fixed with tape to ensure it stays in place and does its job properly.

Pipe insulation has a number of benefits. For a start, it can prevent heat loss from pipes and therefore make your heating more efficient, reducing the cost you pay overall.

Furthermore, protecting your pipes with lagging could end up preventing your pipes from freezing and getting damaged – which would cost you a hefty sum to fix.

Lastly, a lesser known benefit of installing lagging around your pipes is for noise reduction from your central heating system.

Hot water can make a banging noise when it passes through a pipe, due to the temperature difference between the inner and outer tubes.

Is it cheaper to leave central heating on all the time or to turn it on and off? The matter is a popular debate.

As temperatures drop, many of us are considering the best way to keep our homes warm.

Boiler costs and central heating bills can become expensive in wintertime, but save during this cold spell by installing a simple ceiling fan.

Installing one of these fans in your home can save you as much 30 per cent on your heating bill, according to research from Lights.co.uk.

Typically, ceiling fans are used for generating a cool breeze during the summer.

However, many do not realise they can equally be used to circulate warm air in your home during the winter.

As a result, you won’t have to crank up the thermostat – and you will save money on your heating bill.

All you have to do is use the ceiling fan in the reverse function (counter clockwise) rather than the forward function.

This pushes the warm air – which naturally rises towards the ceiling – back down into the room.

As a result, the heat from your central heating system will circulate around the room much more efficiently.

Ceilings fans can be found for as little as £39 on sites such as eBay, or for upwards of £50 on Lights.co.uk.

They are available in a range of different models and colours, and you can choose between options with or without integrated lights.

Given that the average UK annual gas bill is an eye watering £752, according to research from OVO Energy, this may well be a worthy investment.

Yesterday, it was revealed what temperature a house should be: 21 degrees Celsius, according to a government study.

Despite this, the average UK home is just 17.7 degrees Celsius, which is considerably colder.

It has also been asked whether it is cheaper to leave central heating on all the time or to turn it on and off.

Your boiler will be working overtime during the winter chill, but what temperature should you set your central heating to when it’s cold?

The ideal temperature for your house is 21 degrees Celsius, according to a government study.

However, the average temperature of a UK home is set to be 17.7 degrees Celsius, which is considerably colder.

However, there is no hard and fast rule as to what temperature a house should be.

If you are ill or elderly, it is likely you may require a higher temperature compared to others.

Conversely, some people are happy to survive in temperatures much colder than this.

This can also be affected by gender: a Dutch study fpund that women work better in warmer rooms and offices compared to men, due to having less body heat.

It is known that for each degree you increase your thermostat, you will pay around £60 extra per year.

Should you turn your thermostat up in cold weather? It is believed half of us increase the temperature on our house if it is cold outside.

It is understandable why people might do this to try and keep warm, especially when temperatures drop to minus figures.

However, experts says this is a waste of money, because a thermostat is designed to keep the house at the same temperature all the time.

This is regardless of how freezing the outside weather might turn during the course of the day and night.

It was recently asked: is it cheaper to leave central heating on all the time or turn it on and off?

Some believe it is better to control your thermostat by turning it up and down during the day, or putting it on a timer.

Others are convinced leaving it on all the time will help them stay warm during the winter, while being the most energy saving and cost efficient solution.

Central heating is an issue on everyone’s minds right now as the weather gets chillier, but what’s the best way to heat your home?

Some believe it is better to control your thermostat by turning it up and down during the day, or putting it on a timer.

Others are convinced leaving it on all the time will help them stay warm during the winter, while being the most energy saving and cost efficient solution.

This is because it is believed it takes more energy to warm your home up after your central heating has been turned off, compared to leaving it on a constant temprature.

What’s more, it’s certainly a hassle free solution if you just set your thermostat to one optimum temperature and leave it.

But what do the experts think about this issue? Sadly for some, Caitlin Bent – an energy expert at the Energy Saving Trust (EST), isn’t buying the “keep it on” philosophy.

“It’s a common myth that leaving the heating on low all day will help you save energy,” she told The Sun.

”In reality, it’s best to use a timer or programmer to make sure your home is only heated when you’re there.

“Otherwise you’ll just be wasting energy by heating an empty house.

Alternatively, you could get a smart meter, which allows you to change your house temperature remotely.

The UK government announced an intention to install smart meters into all homes that would like them before the end of 2020.

Martin Lewis, Money Saving Expert, 45, has in the past agreed the best solution is to use a timer turn heating on and off for the times you need it.

However, speaking on ITV’s This Morning during the cold spell in December 2017, he said there was one exception to this rule.

“Using a timer’s best, because your thermostat is designed to turn your heating on and off to keep your home at the temperature you set it.

So in general I’d stick with that. “However, keeping the heating on all day is good for people in certain scenarios, including people who have damp.

“There are some engineers though who argue that keeping the heating on low with all the radiators on and the boiler down can work as it reduces condensation, which when the heating is turned off collects within the walls, and can help conduct heat outside the home – meaning you lose heat more quickly and so will use more energy as a result.

“So if your house is prone to that you may want to think about it.”
