Re: Is the heat loss calculation linear --at all?
Not to worry. The basic assumptions in the equations used for heat loss are that it is linear. Are those assumptions correct? Well... no. But they are close enough for normal ranges of outdoor temperatures that you can use them.
As @ChrisJ notes, though infiltration losses are NOT linear, and do increase significantly as the temperature difference increases. Again, within a normal range -- OK. But if you live in a windy area, or it gets much below zero part of the time, I'd be adding a fudge factor (oh excuse me: "a qualified engineering adjustment". That sound better?)

Or has had their inability to buy a house and start a family blamed on their love of avocado toast🥑 and Starbucks. Personally I do not know anyone my age who has a love of avocado toast, that said I knew not to even approach my mother until after she had her coffee and she's a boomer.

Re: Young People - The Smart Phone Generation
It has nothing to do with touching a nerve or conservative radio. I’m old and not sensitive.
but I see people concerned here about the difficulty in hiring new people, then I see huge chunks of the population get disparaged.
you don’t think these people can sense your disdain when they come across it? Do you like working for someone who prejudges you to be lazy, weak or unwilling?

It’s no difference to me, but it boggles my mind. Sorry for the hijack
Re: Young People - The Smart Phone Generation
Oops, I touched a nerve here. I was just listening to conservative talk radio prior to my previous comment. I will endevour to be more understanding.
Re: Young People - The Smart Phone Generation
For what it's worth I've seen people in multiple movies and tv shows from the 1940s,50s,60s and even 70s talk about how "kids these days are lazy and just don't care". This includes British shows. I'm 90% sure I've heard it on Dragnet and Barney Miller as well.
I came to the conclusion this is how it's always been and people that think their generation was better at anything, are wrong.
Not to mention, "Take a shower you dirty hippie" or, "Get a job hippie" wasn't created for Millennials.
Hey look, a 1950s "damn Millennial".....Back then they were called Beatniks, but same thing, lazy kids..
For those that don't know, that's Maynard G Krebs played by Bob Denver aka Gilligan.

Milorginite is a thing, but most places don't do that. I suspect there is an issue with chemicals and metals too.
