Web links Gadget not Working? Here are some more references


I'm not sure if anyone else has this issue but when I try to update the web links gadget it won't let me save it. The only way to update it is to delete it and then put all my links in on the new gadget. Any new links I get I will post here.

Effect of Thermal Mass on performance of insulated building walls

Before Sketch

Quick Sketch
Here is the before sketch of the house. It is going to be my base to which I will draw another sketch of what it could look like after renovation. My big issue is what to do with the right side of the house. As stated in my previous posts skylights could play a big part in this renovation. Anyone have any ideas?

Skylight Roof Sketch

Section Sketch of Roof

Here my idea for the roof. You could put skylights in which allow energy to hit the thermal mass. This thermal mass would then radiate on both sides so you could use a fan to circulate the heat to the interior. This could also work for the garage roof and then blow into the house rather than down into the garage. The issue with that is the skylights on the garage would not be perpendicular to the sun or close to for very long.
