In such a situation, the new empty nester may no longer have current membership benefits previously derived from being a part of a network of other people [...] the social category of being a parent of dependent children; an affiliation which is suddenly no longer valid. As a result, identity-based behaviour and preferences will change for the “empty-nester”.

Upon this background [...] insolation3 from June to August is only approximately 10% lower than the one in Paris, due to the longer sunshine duration. A well designed SWH system could cover most of the hot water demand in summer [...] be possible. In addition, humid ground is preferable, because a light dry soil will require a much longer horizontal heat exchanger than a damp soil would. (Source: www.eco-hometec.co.uk/Heatpump.htm). 4
