I supposed that may make a tiny difference. Apart from that, decorative view only. Unless you believe in Santa claus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a newby it’s all down to trail or error but the most important thing is to ask for advice from those who has been before me, yes it could work and yes it could be a nice feature too, as long as it’s not cost a fortune and it’s wasted money I may give it a go.

This web site has some good ideas: http://www.yourhome.gov.au/passive-design/passive-cooling If you look at the solar chimneys, perhaps that is what they utilize in Spain? What part of Spain has chimneys? The solar chimney has to be on the sunny / hot side of the house. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that’s just like what Emma wants, my concern about this is if we are not there for months or years , then who is going to look after them service them and who is going to get the use of them after I have paid for them. With some aircon systems I have stayed in the Philippines they seem to give my a dry throat in the mornings or are very noisy, but we are not there yet and things may have improved lots by the time we get there too, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
