Quoted from Methos:We moved last year and now have a seperate building for my games and workshop. I didn't move because of pinball, but it was something that we had to make sure we had enough space for. It worked out well.
you new place is a dream come true!
such a perfect setup!!!
question for those that have built a big out building that is temperature controlled...
What is the most efficient way to heat and cool the huge space?
Thinking geothermal with in floor radiant is worth the investment?
Eventual plan (dream) is a 80 x 40 building.
Quoted from Pinzap:Not only is it expensive, but it takes a long time to heat up a space because you have to bring the entire mass of the concrete floor up to temp. For an out building, I'm assuming (but maybe incorrectly) that you'd want to keep the temp at a cool 40-50 degrees most of the time to save on heating costs until you want to go out and use it for a couple hours. Like in the evening or on the weekend. In this instance, you'll want some type of Modine or Hot Dawg forced air heater that can bring the space up to temp in a short period of time (30 mins or so).
It all depends on how much you want to spend and how quickly you want to heat it.
I was under the impression that a vertical or horizontal loop system allows you to just use the circulation pump to keep things as a pretty stable temp (55-60) year round? I would assume some smaller wall units for more rapid heating or more likley to assist with cooling when hosting a big party?
