[GBlist] Heat Sources

[Donna Watkins <donna@theherbsplace.com>]

Need some ideas from you creative folks!

We're building a house with a basement that will have a section that is
heated/cooled for offices, storage and bath.  Upstairs we will have a
woodstove.  That's not going to help keep the basement warm where my
cold-natured husband is going to be all day.

If he runs the heat to keep the downstairs warm, I will be roasting up
stairs with the additional woodstove heat.  Tried to find a way to put the
woodstove in the basement but there's absolutely no way - that would be
ideal!!  No way to get the flue outside - there's stairs going up and
outside there's a screened porch that it would be under.

What other heat sources could we consider to keep that area downstairs warm
in winter?  It's 420 sq. ft of space.  Don't want to run up a big electric
bill for it.  We're building energy efficient and using Geo-Thermal.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Blessings to you!
Donna
