The author seems to neglect that heat from the water like the water itself can and should be recycled.
Ideally, taking a hot bath or a long shower should just be a different form of heating your apartment or house. The same way your refrigerator or your kettle should contribute to the room temperature. If we then also generate heat with heatpumps or solar power (or both), I don't see any reason to not indulge in long showers.
- morsch 4y agoI guess leaving the water in the tub is an easy way to reclaim the heat, but is there any place where the same is done to shower water (or all waste water) on a large scale? Maybe arctic research stations?
- dzhiurgis 4y agoIMO if you have heat pump water heater, recycling dirty water would be good albeit complex way to reclaim the heat.
