You didnt need to do that, though. It peobably wouldve been easier to use manual j (or some software) to estimate the heat loads in the house, with given set points, using weather station data.

I never said the more simple answer is wrong, im explaining why it doesnt need to be a conspiracy.
You are also assuming "actively and maliciously," thats not necesarily the case. Of course the best lie has a grain of truth.
The majority of people need to get their words to parrot from somewhere. This is where the powerful and funded groups come in, money gives your message more reach.

Nobody in this thread is saying that but you, atm. I was just wondering if you were speculating or had any evidence. Id even be interested to hear more about your logic because "its possible and has been done before by other actors" isnt enough to convince me
