Heat pumps are devices that transfer heat from one place to another. They can be used to heat or cool a home, depending on the climate. Heat pumps work by using a compressor to move refrigerant through a closed loop. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air inside the home and releases it to the air outside. This process is reversed in the summer to cool the home.
When the temperatures rise, your air conditioning system is the key to keeping your home comfortable to live in. Whether you have central air, mini-split or hybrid systems, having a system you can rely on matters. https://2ndgenerationelectric.com/whole-home-ac

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

and choose the right one for your
Canadian home. Save energy and
money with Advantage Airtech
ClimateCare today!
3. As temperatures drop and heating bills rise,
Canadians are always looking for ways to
stay warm and save money. That's where
heat pumps come in. These energy-efficient
systems can provide both heating and
cooling, making them a versatile choice for
Canadian homes. In this article, we'll
answer some of the most frequently asked
questions about heat pumps, including
their perks, costs, and maintenance.
4. What Is an Air
Source Heat
Pump?
An air source heat pump is an
energy-efficient heating and cooling
solution that does not generate heat
through combustion. Instead, it uses
electricity to transfer heat between
indoor and outdoor environments. In
cooling mode, it functions like an air
conditioner, expelling indoor warmth
outside. In heating mode, it reverses
the process, extracting heat from
outdoor air and bringing it indoors.
5. Are Heat Pumps
More Efficient
Than Boilers &
Furnaces?
A heat pump’s efficiency ranges from
150% to 300% and doesn’t emit any
fumes, making it an eco-friendlier option
than combustion sources. However, in
colder climates with temperatures
below 30°F, some air source heat pumps
may require supplemental heating or
alternative systems to perform
effectively.
6. Absolutely. Heat pumps are a great
investment for Canadian homeowners,
especially those living in regions with
mild to moderate climates. They offer
significant energy savings, reducing
your heating costs by up to 50%.
Additionally, heat pumps are more eco-
friendly, emitting less carbon than
traditional heating systems.
Are Heat
Pumps Worth
It in Canada?
7. What Is the Best
Heat Pump to
Buy in Canada?
The best heat pump for you depends on
your needs, budget, and climate.
Generally, you'll want to choose a heat
pump with a high seasonal energy
efficiency ratio (SEER) and heating
seasonal performance factor (HSPF) to
maximize your savings. When choosing a
heat pump, make sure to work with a
professional to properly size and install
the system.
8. How Much Does
a Heat Pump
Cost?
On average, a heat pump system in
Canada can cost between $4000 to
$10,000, with installation costs ranging
from $1,000 to $6,000. However, keep in
mind that investing in a high-quality heat
pump can save you money in the long run
by reducing your energy bills.
9. What Do I
Need to
Know Before
Installing a
New Heat
Pump?
Heat pumps are one of the best
options for heating and cooling on
the market. However, you will need
to consider the following to ensure
you get the most out of your unit:
12. Proper Sizing:
Ensuring you get the right sized
heat pump for your home is crucial
for comfort and energy efficiency.
13. The size of the heat pump you
need depends on the size of your
home, your insulation, and your
climate. A professional HVAC
contractor can properly size your
heat pump by conducting a heat
load calculation, which takes into
account these and other factors.
What Size
Heat Pump
Do I Need?
14. What Are the Pros & Cons of
Air-Source Heat Pumps?
Air-source heat pumps offer several
benefits, including high energy efficiency,
lower operating costs, and eco-
friendliness. They are also easy to install
and don't require ductwork. However,
they may not be as efficient in cold
temperatures, and they can be noisy if not
properly installed. It's also worth noting
that air-source heat pumps may require a
backup heating system in cases of
extreme cold.
15. How Do I Protect My
Heat Pump From Ice
& Snow in the
Winter?
It’s common for heat pumps to ice over in the winter.
And, while a bit of ice on the heat pump is relatively
normal, a totally covered unit may leave your home
without heat. Here are some tips to keep your heat
pump snow and ice-free:
• Ensure the defrost cycle timer activates every 30-90
minutes to prevent excess ice buildup.
• Inspect the thermostat or sensor for any issues.
• Gently brush off any snow after storms.
• Rinse ice off with water from a hose instead of
using sharp objects that could damage the unit.
16. Heat pumps are generally more efficient
than air conditioners. They pump out
more cool air in volume per unit of
energy used than most standard air
conditioners. And while air conditioners
can only provide cooling, heat pumps
can provide both heating and cooling.
This means that a heat pump can
reduce your heating and cooling costs
compared to using separate systems for
each.
How Efficient Is
a Heat Pump
Compared to an
Air Conditioner?
17. What
Maintenance Is
Required for an
Air-Source Heat
Pump?
Air-source heat pumps require regular, basic
maintenance to ensure optimal performance and
longevity. This includes changing air filters,
cleaning the outdoor unit, and checking
refrigerant levels. It's also important to have your
heat pump inspected and serviced by a
professional HVAC contractor at least once a year.
18. Yes. The Government of Ontario offers
several rebates for energy-efficient
upgrades, including heat pumps. The Clean
Home Heating Initiative provides rebates of
up to $10,000 for electric heat pump
installations in select municipalities.
Additionally, homeowners may be eligible
for federal rebates through the Canada
Greener Homes Grant program.
Are There Any
Government Heat
Pump Rebates in
Ontario?
19. How Long do
Heat Pumps
Typically Last?
Heat pumps can last
between 15 to 25 years with
proper maintenance. The
lifespan can vary depending
on usage, climate, and the
quality of the heat pump
system.
20. Heat pumps are an excellent choice for
homeowners in Canada who want to
reduce their carbon footprint and save
on energy bills. By choosing the right
type and size of heat pump and
performing regular maintenance, you
can enjoy the benefits of a reliable and
efficient heating system for decades.
