The house will be heated and cooled by the walls. In the case of the main floor however, we lose a lot of exposure to walls because of the interior walls and the windows.
The solution we hope will be a ceiling wave that helps define different ceiling heights for the functions below.
The wave is an opportunity to build a radiating structure that can use fluids to heat and cool the room. In the example below, we show a series of 2’ x 9’ pans that are built of metal and stuffed with radiant tubes and insulation. They will be joined together to form a new zone in the main floor.
