Thanks for all the info. I will definitely keep this all in mind. I really appreciate the help!

Does anyone have any experience with the Home Biogas toilet system? Right now it seems like one of the best options I've seen, but one of my concerns is temperature. I spoke to the company and the system should be around 20c or higher for best results. But I'm wondering how much of a loss I should be expecting as the temp drops? Winter, where I live, is relatively mild (averaging between 5-0c) and, though I can add a greenhouse or an aquarium heater, I realise that I will still be below that target temp.
I'm perfectly willing to set up an alternative solution (a basic composting toilet or likewise) for the few colder weeks. But at what point will the system stop functioning at all? will the biogas system be damaged by lower temps? Do I need to be concerned about changing out the digester contents? Will it need to be emptied completely and then reassembled once it warms up some?
I know it's a lot of questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!

Thanks for all the information. I suspected it would change the temp between the two but I wasn't sure if it was a big enough difference to make a noticeable impact. Good to know that it's an area I need to be more aware of.

I've been looking at a lot of Earthship designs and layouts, and I have a question I'm hoping someone can help me answer. Mainly about the separation/integration of the greenhouse portion with the rest of the living space.

How much of a difference, if any, is there between the classic Earthship design with the "long hallway" type greenhouse divided from the living space vs. the style of greenhouse that is simply part of the living space? Does it affect the overall temp of the space? By how much? Does it alter the effectiveness of the greenhouse? Is there any major benefit of one over the other?

Any info would be super helpful! Thanks!
