Thats what I'm saying. Buy a little $30 1500W space heater with a built in thermostat. Set it so it keeps the room 10 or so degrees cooler than when the lights are on. Put the heater on a timer so it only comes on when the lights are off. Until the walls are insulated and made with something other than panda film, I feel maintaining temps will be a battle the entire time. Also, if there is a significant difference in temps between each side of that panda film, theres gonna be condensation on the walls (think back of the toilet tank). I'm all about trying to re-use anything I can, and to make my room as efficient as I can within my means so I get it.
I had drawn something much like that in post #51
This is really confusing and I'm still open to ideas. I had a lot of people tell me to flip flop the room and split it into two sections for heat share, one room keeping the other warm during lights off and vice versa.
I see your concern Hydro.
I have not yet purchased the panda film. Honestly I know I have not mentioned it but I am going to have my studs insulated with insulation board. The 1/2 inch stuff that is reflective on one side and foam on the other. They come in boards and I'm not sure the proper name for it but my uncle used it in his basement it is really good stuff.
So the wall in the center will have that insulation, the front walls will have that insulation as well. The side and back wall that is concrete I may likely leave it like it is since it is completely drylok'd or maybe throw some Mylar over It, I have a huge roll of thick Mylar from my old room that has never been used. That or I am going to go foam board completey which I will use an adhesive to stick it to the concrete walls.
Now when you are talking about recirculating hot air and it being too much I could still place an intake on the wall and bring in cool air to mix with the heat and as long as I can dial that mixture into a good temp then it could be done that way. There are two holes in the outside wall already that was obviously added when they built the cellar back in the 90s. They are about 5 and a half foot high, about 3 inches wide and 3 inches tall in diameter and they are one on each side. I can customize those into my plan somehow if needed. I was planning on pulling through one and venting through the one on opposite side of wall.
Plus this will decrease the sudden spikes in electricity on the 12/12 increment shown on my smart meter records. It would be a steady flow when flipflopping. Could I put a damper on those holes in the wall and put a temperature controlled intake fan on those?That way it will open or close if temps are too hot or too high??
This should not be this complicating lol.
