@Fireplace Guy: No, the media room is going to be used to watch movies.
We already have a 2.5 meter wide projector screen and a media projector that we use to watch moves a few times a week on. With this size screen and a descent sound set-up it’s not far from going to the cinemas plus you can have an intermission (loo break) when ever you feel like.

Interesting house..

Have you thought of using a wood or multi-fuel burning stove as a secondary heating source?

They can be really powerful and there are so many model and makes to choose from - I saw a stove last night on a blog that had a 30kW output - pretty amazing really.

Can I ask, what will the Media room be used for? Is that just a fancy name for a living room?

Take care,

Fireplace Man

Sounds pretty good to me, your heating/cooling is taken care of and your energy is via Solar.

If you have a really big water tank and a veggie garden you’ll be pretty self-sufficient
