"Intertherm<\/a>At a stroke scientists may have solved one of mankind’s greatest mysteries – the male female heating conflict.\u00a0 Male female heating conflict?\u00a0 Anyone who lives with someone of the opposite sex knows exactly what I mean.\u00a0 Men want the heating off and women want the opposite.\u00a0 It happens in our house (I’m heavily outnumbered),\u00a0male female heating conflict always happened in my parents house and now this week there seems to be an answer at last.<\/p>\n

The research published in the journal\u00a0 “Nature Climate Change” after following men and women in an climate simulator doing light office work suggests that differences in metabolism are responsible.\u00a0 Women’s metabolisms run at a slower rate than men’s.\u00a0 Men are comfortable at 22 degrees C women aren’t.\u00a0 There is a general issue here in that the nature of work has changed from heavy manual labour to light office work and over the same time period the levels that homes and work are maintained at have soared.\u00a0 I’ve always assumed the reason was men generally have more fat\/hair than women and this was the explanation for the male female heating conflict.\u00a0 I was wrong. \u00a0 There is also psychology involved as if I switch the heating off the female\u00a0 members of the household don’t moan since they think the heat is still on…\u00a0 I also know exceptions to the rule men who find the house colder than women.<\/p>\n

This blog is a slightly light hearted look at the issue, but it raises a vital issue.\u00a0 Not only for climate change but also peak oil.\u00a0 One of the biggest problems we will have to face in the future is renewable heat, as we have outlined in our book<\/a>. i.e how we heat our houses.\u00a0 It unlikely we will be able to heat hem to as hot as we currently do.<\/p>\n
