Send us a textNathan talks with Katrina from Energy Systems Catapult and Trysten Lee from Open Energy Monitor about a key question surrounding the Electrification of Heat (EoH) trial: why did the heat pumps perform so poorly? The trial, involving aprox. 740 heat pumps, showed an average Seasonal Performance Factor (SPF) of just 2.81 for air source.This contrasts sharply with the performance of heat pumps monitored by Trysten at HeatPumpMonitor.org (HPM). Interestingly, many of the installers whose systems are tracked on HPM are relatively new to the field, some with only a few years of heat pump experience. Yet, they consistently achieve high-performing heat pump installations, a stark difference from the results of the large-scale trials. This success likely stems from their adherence to the two BetaTeach principles, their approach to self-directed learning, and their use of peer-to-peer learning. They also tend to pursue different training paths, rather than relying solely on the standard 3-day BPEC and LCL Award courses.The trial, conducted in partnership with Warmworks, OVO, and E-ON, involved 19 MCS contractors installing approximately 750 free heat pump systems.  Beyond heat pump performance, the trial has provided valuable insights that are informing policy development in areas such as planning permission and Distribution Network Operator (DNO) applications.  Trystan and his team have managed to visualise the data captured from the trial at eoh.heatpumpmonitor.orgFor information on the Air to Air trial and to see if you can have a free A2A heat pump system click hereThis season is sponsored by PrimaryProPrimary Pro, a pipe insulation system developed by Dave Smith, is gaining popularity among engineers for use in heat pump installations.Support the showLearn more about heat pump heating by followingNathan on Linkedin, Twitter and BlueSky

The people we surround ourselves with shape who we become. Are your friends calling you higher? Do they challenge you to grow, encourage you when you're struggling, and comfort you when you fall? Father Columba explores the power of real friendships—ones that reflect Christ's love, truth, and mercy.

Are you loving or using people? Father Columba challenges us to reflect on how we treat others – are we giving selflessly or exploiting for our own gain? Understand what it means to truly love, inspired by God's example of unconditional love. Transform your relationships by embracing love that uplifts and never uses.

What if there's a new way to be human, one that leads to true freedom and joy? Father Columba dives into how generosity and trust in God can transform our hearts and lives. Discover how embracing this mindset allows us to live fully, love deeply and receive abundantly.

What if giving more is the key to receiving more? Father Columba explores how generosity transforms our hearts, deepens our faith and aligns us with God's abundant love. Giving isn't just about what we lose — it's about what we gain: freedom, joy and the grace to live fully.

J.J. and Dr. Eliav Grossman bravely explore a new (old) frontier in Jewish thought. The mysterious time between the closing of the Babylonian Talmud and the rise of the Geonim. Follow us on Twitter (X) @JewishIdeas_Pod to see the realization of Ahad Ha'Am's pessimistic prophesies. Please rate and review the the show in the podcast app of your choice!We welcome all complaints and compliments at podcasts@torahinmotion.orgFor more information visit torahinmotion.org/podcastsEliav Grossman is a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt University. He studies Jews and Judaism in late antiquity and the early Middle Ages, and his research explores rabbinic literature as it developed from the product of a narrow class of provincial elites to the dominant cultural idiom for Jews across the eastern Mediterranean. Eliav's dissertation, “The New Mishnah: Rabbinic Literature between Late Antiquity and Early Islam,” investigates an eclectic corpus of texts that have been neglected in modern scholarship but that share a defining feature: imitation of the Mishnah, the foundational text of the classical rabbinic corpus. Eliav's research interests extend beyond antiquity and encompass medieval liturgical poetry, early modern intellectual history, and the history of 20th century Jewish scholarship. His scholarly writings have appeared in Jewish Studies Quarterly and Aramaic Studies, and he has written and lectured for many popular audiences. He has been awarded a Harold W. Dodds Honorific Fellowship and the Association for Jewish Studies Dissertation Completion Fellowship (honorary). Prior to beginning his studies at Princeton, Eliav completed a B.A. in Philosophy and Religion at Columbia University, an MPhil in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at Cambridge University, and another MPhil in Political Thought and Intellectual History, also at Cambridge.
