Winston, yes. Bion Howard recently noted that a Kachadorian-style slab may
be useful if it is heated by warm air (positive pressure), and the heat
transfers back into the living space by radiation and conduction - as in a
hydronically-heated slab. I still think that the resources devoted to
building the plenum, and devising a means of blowing air into it, would pay
for all or a large part of a solar DHW system.
Best regards,
