Update: Hybrid System

Hybrid System:
Thermal Mass, insulation, and insulating curtains for overnight use


Thermal mass: metal oil drum filled with water
approx 300 gallons of water according to:

To cover the north facing wall, would need approx 100 sqft of material
possible material: "Reflectix" found at Home Depot (approx. $60)
Night curtain: mylar material- still need to figure out a working design


**need a self sustaining (solar?) fan
