What's the overhead on setting up something like this? The idea itself seems pretty sweet, but I'm too claustrophobic to deal with the setup. What's the overhead on setting up something like this?

Making hot the chamber with the sunlight is really a grate success. If this technique implemented then i think we can save energy a lot. Which will help us in future to handle the scarcity of fuel issues. This is really a great invention. Making hot the chamber with the sunlight is really a grate success.

That being said, I always had the “door” open. Ventilation looks like it would be a definite problem. Since it’s a small space though, I wonder how much of the heating would be done by body heat alone. I feel this would impede my ability to work. That being said, I always had the “door” open.

Use the daylight energy for a small room so it is enough to warm the room… nice. This Idea is quite innovative and i hope other people also like this unique and innovative thinking. very interesting concept.

By insulating your roof you can reduce/retain heat loads by up to 12 degrees in winter summer. This protection against heat will also allow any air conditioning equipment you have in your home to operate more effectively and will mean less energy costs to efficiently keep your home comfortable. The government is offering insulation rebates at the moment so if not already done, it may be worth taking them up on the offer. Just be sure to choose the right R value for your climate zone.
