I work in financial industry so can't have my work (audible or readable) in public space.... Plus I use 5 screens so working off laptop alone isn't possible.
I think the theory behind a caravan is what I will aim for however.... My home office is the box bedroom so I aim to just heat that room and keep door closed when cold.
Our house is hard to warm downstairs on the basis it’s open plan but warns quickly upstairs due to insulation upgrades we did two years ago.
Problem we have is the misses has the upstairs box room as an office which warms very quickly, if I’m in the dinning room it takes bloody ages.
She keeps moaning about layers etc which I get, but one thing a colleague has done was to change to a dyson tower fan/heater just for the room he works in. Work with doors closed where possible and only look to heat them rooms.
If you’re only heating one room the oil filled electric rads are good. If you set the stat once the rad is up to operating temps it will slow release with the element just keeping the oil topped up.
I’ll be working from a clients spare office so I’m good but if that falls through I may convert the second bedroom as it’s warmer. We have now invested in a wireless stat for the house which is down stairs in the evening. The misses will have the stat in the office and once that room is warm it will shut the central heating off.
When we move next we are considering a new build driven mainly by efficiency, if not it will need to be a house where there is the option to heavily upgrade efficiency as this is a problem that isn’t going away.
