<A low mass air heater (eg passive polycarbonate solar siding over an
insulated house wall) would have been a lot cheaper and more efficient.>

a current project is for a new house on a wooded lot.  through the heating
months, the house will be in the filtered shade of a dense stand of
deciduous trees, on a slope rising to the south.  it'll be some help for the
muggy season--but not much help in winter.  So it's gonna be 3x windows and
thick walls and roof, to make this nut...
