INFRARED HOUSE


I thought it would be neat to see post a picture of an infrared house. Many of you have probably seen these before. For those who haven't, the infrared shows where most of the heat is being lost (green=least, yellow=medium, and red=worst). As predicted, windows are the worst. However, it is quite apparent that the studs provide very little thermal resistance. That is just one more reason for me to consider doing more reasearch on a double stud wall!

    Yes it would Jordan. Then all we would need is someone to design an efficient roof system
