Another KCNA Exclusive: North Korea Invents Heat!
2005-03-11
Technology running rampant in the DPRK!
Pyongyang, March 10 (KCNA) - The Paektusan Institute of Architecture of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has developed a new system of ensuring a good environmental temperature inside buildings. Prof. and Dr. Wi Sok Ryong, who led the development team, told KCNA that it is a method of conditioning air with the environmental temperature (the average temperature of the air and the radiant temperature of interior walls) as the standard. It is far superior to the existing method.
Which, I believe, is fire.
It provides 25 degrees C in summer and 22 degrees C in winter, the most proper temperature stipulated by the ISO in all rooms. With this system, the user can control the temperature as he wishes.
Wow. How do we stand a chance against these people?!
This system is based on the development of environmental thermometer, computerized air-conditioner providing needed environmental temperature and the measuring method of heat in buildings. The heat measuring method makes it possible to provide the most proper temperature with even an air-conditioning facility the capacity of which is 30 to 40 percent less than the existing one.
And with no "on the spot field guidance" from Kimmie. Amazing.

Oh, that old Russian joke - 'We have hot and cold water; hot in the summer and cold in the winter.'
