The walls between the centre room and the rooms on both sides are also
foot thick stone and once warm can only loose heat to other rooms.
Wow George....sounds like fortress!![/QUOTE]
Well it is bullit proof.
So your problem in your clime...is LOISNG heat..... not
necessarily gaining heat. Right?
Not losing it. Gaining it during the summer is the problem.
See....I line in the midwest of the USA....and we have
definite four season....and cold winters! lol
Yeah well we can get all 4 in a day here.
I guess the design of the house really does depend on
the clime you live in? No?
Largely this is true. The A frame comes from a cold climate. Does not
suffer from snow loading.
So bottom line... there is no ONE design that would
work equally well in a desert..... as it would say in
the midwest or mountains?
With todays building technology you can build just about anything just
about any where. Most problems can be solved by throwing mony at them.
If you are not in a position to do this then you need a design that will
lend itself to the climate conditions. A California bungalow is not
suited to the Alps. But enough money and it could be done and work.
