[Greenbuilding] Solution sought for heat rising problem

[Sacie Lambertson]

All, currently in Vermont; staying in a lovely house with a big  30'x30',
tall 25'+ living room converted from a barn.  In addition to a radiant
heated concrete floor, a new pellet stove that blows heat into the space
has recently been installed.  About a third of the room is divided by a
loft space that forms an extension to the larger room underneath and a bed
room above.  The very high ceiling for the entire space is contiguous.

How to bring the rising warm air down to the occupied space below?

The space is well insulated but at the same time it has many windows, at
least ten.  It would not be practical nor would it look good to install a
beam across the space from which a fan could be hung.  I don't think one
can hang a large fan on what would have to be at least a 15 foot single
pole.

Ideas/suggestions/solutions for a good way to distribute the warm air would
be appreciated.  When winter hits this part of the world, the bedroom space
will be overly warm while those sitting below will be uncomfortably cold.

thanks, Sacie
