<div dir="ltr">seems like the same argument for insulation under a radiant slab would apply: you would be providing a source of heat adjacent to a heat sink with an infinite capacity. But I would defer to any physicist who could explain the mechanics better--that is, how much heat energy is radiated and conducted back into the room, vs how much is radiated and conducted to the exterior. I am particularly troubled by the assertions that: <br><br><ul><li>When the temperature of the glass exceeds the inside air temp by 3-5 dF, the windows become opaque to heat loss</li><li>The R-values of the windows increase and then exceed the R-value of the walls</li></ul>On the face of it, it sounds like ArcClad has discovered a way to suspend some important Laws.<br><div><br></div><div>-AA</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><font><font><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0)">Alan Abrams</span></font><b style="color:rgb(102,0,0)"><br></b><i><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102)">certified professional building designer, AIBD<br>certified passive house consultant, PHIUS</span></i></font><div><i><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102)">certified passive house builder, PHIUS</span></i><font><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0)"><font color="#666666"><i><br></i></font></span></font><font style="color:rgb(102,102,102)" size="1"><font>cell </font></font><font style="color:rgb(102,102,102)" size="1"><font>202-437-8583</font></font><font style="color:rgb(102,102,102)" size="1"><font><br>
