Been busy working on the new 80 by 90 farm machinery shop.
There has been great debate about only insulating 12 feet around the perimeter. Which will leave the center uninsulated. I have read the threads about this "heat sync" on hearth before. However, I don't recall them having 900 square feet in solar panels to charge the center. According to the commerical heating guy who helped me with my Garn project, we can charge that center starting in September and use those reserves along with the solar panels to heat the shop.
Thoughts, ideas?
We will probably do the insulation next week. Trying to decide to go the safe route and insulate the entire thing and not get full benefit from the solar or only do the first 12.
