  • @n7app I think the question to ask contractors in your area is do you have the expertise to build around the principles of passive solar design and a tight building envelope?

    5 months of research tells me:

    1) SIPS for walls and roof provide highest R value and high cost efficiency.

    2) Solar gain windows on the south side will heat your home for free.

    3) Thermal mass inside your home store that heat. Ex: concrete, stone, water.

    4) Use small heat recovery ventilation.

    5) A small woodstove.

  • lol i thought it was oklahoma state
