Hello everyone! I'm new to permies but I've been looking into RMH for about 2 years now. I have a design question that I'd like some input on.
I want to put a RMH in my garage that we now use a a workout/exercise room. On the other side of the garage wall is my living room. After I'm done using the workout room I'd like to direct that heat into my house. What would be the best way to get heat from the RMH into my livingroom with as little disruption to the living room space as possible (it's a small room to begin with).
I thought about putting duct work into the mass that would allow me to blow air from the livin groom through the mass and have it return to the living room.
I also thought about having the thermal mass directly against the studs of the wall in the garage and removing the insulation in the wall so the thermal mass on one side and the drywall on the other would create an air space/channel. I could put vents at the bottom and top of the wall which would allow air to flow through the channel via normal convection so no electric would be needed. This would circulate cold air from the floor of my living room up along the thermal mass and out the top vents.
Does anyone have any experience with this type of setup!
Thanks,
Pete
