Can anyone recommend a consultant to help me design / make heating/cooling decisions on my tiny house? It would be worth it to me to pay someone to help me because I'm hoping to save myself the time of a big research project (or making poor decisions given my limited experience in this area). I live in MA.

I'd like to incorporate passive solar strategy and/or RMH for heat. I don't plan to be moving the home around much, so I don't mind adding some mass. I know there are challenges because of weight, but would like to see if some useful adaptations / compromises could be identified (such as containers of water for mass, removable mass, etc.).

My house will be 145 sq. feet total (not including loft space), but I will be separating the shower/bathroom/closet area with wall/door. This will give me 96 square feet of main living space (not including the loft). I hoped that walling off the main living space might help me heat more efficiently.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
