In our country energy saving in houses is a national top question. How to minimize the use of heating energy? The knowledge fits well in the "warm way of the hive"

I bought and infrared temp measuring gun and I was really surprised 2 weeks ago what I found.

The room had 18C temp on walls but in lower part of the door temp was +6C.
The hallway behind door had -4C
In first floor -10C
out -30C / -20C

The door has 3 large "mirrors" of 4 mm plywood. The heat leaded via 2 doors' plywood very fast.

In city apartment one wall does not probably have insulation because situation was

Outdoor -25C
one wall 14C
room temp 20C
other walls 18C


So insulation does not well if some place conduct/leak the heat away.

I bought that heat leak detector to follow the temp of honey extracting process.
