Design Review
Water Column
In general
The idea is to use this column to level out the temperature of the room throughout the day
What material to build it with
Research
See provided sites from Dr Schuster to research heat capabilities
Many models assume the column is in lots of direct sunlight
Depends on how much sun and heat is available
Size
Whatever will fit in the building
Experiment with calculations to figure out the optimum size
Stratification of the building
Can this problem be fixed by a ceiling fan?
Alternative solution
Small pipe with small fans to pump air in to the panel from the floor
Try talking to the manufacturer about solving this issue
Battery Backup
For partially cloudy day
May be too expensive for the little benefit to the system
How to control the system
Covers for the panels to shut them off
Ceiling vents
Natural ventilation
