When you say "air chamber in the back", do you mean small porch area that is separated from the house by a door? I see many older homes in the country built that way, but in the city it seems to be obsolete. I think that is a great setup for when kids want to run in and out of the house to play outside, which I encourage. I understand when you say solar heating can get complex. I have been researching them for awhile before I even think about starting a design. I am currently looking for a way to simplify the design so there are leaks areas for failure and less parts to buy. You may consider putting the solar collectors in you yard so they can be covered or turned away from sunlight when not needed. That is one idea I have to keep them from burning up in the summertime here. |

You are correct, in that it is a separate area like a small porch area. It is outside the main house building envelope. It is also insulated on all six sides. The floor is concrete and uses the houses radiant heating to heat the room. The door to and from the room are exterior doors. Now if I could just find a way to make sure that only one door can be open at a time, I am set.
