Hi,
I have a 2 story house in Omaha NE. My kids rooms are in the south west corner, 2nd floor. It appears that the duct-work to their rooms sucks. The air coming from the ducts is 25 degrees F off from rest of the house- colder in winter, hotter is summer.
Ducts are not in attic, , though output is near outside wall.
I would like to use a heat panel to supplement heat in winter. I found free low-E glass (YEA Craigslist!)
I am running into issue figuring how to work with windows- they are not up/down windows, they are side-to-side.
Thinking I need to mount on side, next to window instead of under, but not sure how to design panel to get air circulation, and how to avoid cold leaking in during night.
Any ideas?
Another slightly low tech idea- I know that outside wall is not well insulated- Is there any panel ideas that would just trap heat against the side of the house and let is leak in via conduction? (would need to remove in summer, obviously)
