Day 9: Jan. 27, 2011








AM

All of the holes for cold air returns are made.

The hole for the bedroom above the living room is most efficiently located right above the cold air return serving the living room. As a result, I've opted for a gravity cold air return instead of creating a chase alongside the front door. My reasoning is that it avoids the question of what shape the chase would take (and how might break up the living roo
m in an unpleasing way). It might lose some efficiency in drawing cold air out of the bedroom, but it will also allow warm air from the living room to filter up to the bedroom. The trade-off should be a wash.
