Hello
Well, today was a great test for the foil thermal relief as the high temp outside soared to 88.5 Inside the house the temp climbed to 87.8 ! My friend's uninsulated shed was like a blast furnace inside and so was his aluminum sided trailer home! They were just about uninhabitable!
Well the maximum temperature in the our shed went only to a mere 80.2 degrees F inside! A fairly comfortable spot!
Interesting, I was thinking the same thing about loosing alot of heat when I opened the door in the winter, but it did not happen. The walls inside held the heat in! So it seems similar with the cool, the walls are not hot!
It is 11:00 PM now and 61.2 deg F outside temperature. Since the inside shed temperature is 76.3 Deg F just a little fan in front of the screened window really helps even more. See pic below!
Actually after running it for a few mins it did bring the temp 75.2 but it had a funny plastic smell in the shed. Maybe it was not a good idea to pull in cool but very humid air into the dry shed?
Maybe a built in air conditioner would be much better if I want to bring the temp down?
