Default More data!

Got another chance to do a cooldown. This time I had more time, but started with a lower temperature. Here's the data:

HourTimeIndoor tempOutdoor temp
09:00pm198.2
8.755:45am18.256.4
10.757:45am186.8
118:00am18.256.5
12.759:45am187.7
18.253:15pm17.758.7
24.759:45pm17.57.6
32.55:30am177.3


This test took over 32 hours, and the house cooled only 2 degrees, from 19*C to 17*C, while the outdoor weather was identical to the previous test. This shows that cooldown testing must be repeated a lot of times and averaged.

BTW: The raise in temperature at hour 11 is after the TV was on for 30 minutes.
