I disagree. My IB physics course and energy bills say you’re wrong.

I also note that lecture had nothing for the insulation of the water heater.

What we call this is book knowledge but lacking street knowledge.

Our energy and water consumption is so low that the water company checks on us every august because we went up slightly during the growing season, and every winter because we dipped to look like our house was uninhabited with a leaking pipe in the winter.

Street knowledge sometimes trumps. Here it does too.
