This is a badge bit (
BB) that is part of the
PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the iron badge in
Rocket.
This BB requires you to heat a space with a
rocket mass heater for a full winter.
To get certified for this BB, you must heat a space with a
RMH for a full winter (i.e. three months) and meet the following criteria:
- use two temperature logging thermometers (one indoor, one outdoors)
- outdoor temp was always less than 40 degrees F for 90 days of the winter period
- 5 days above 40F and 90 cold ones over a 95 day stretch is fine
- indoor temp was kept at least 65 degrees F, averaging at least 70 degrees F or more
To get certified for this Badge Bit you must provide:
- provide proof of inside and outside temps meeting the requirements. Perhaps:
- take three data points (one at morning, noon, and evening) at about the same times each day
- provide pics of the space being heated and the
rocket mass heater
- provide twelve paragraphs about the
experience
