I'm getting ready to staple radiant barrier insulation accross my attic rafters. While I understand this is great for keeping out the summer heat, it seems a shame to waste it when it's needed. Do you think it would be possible to make use of this heat on sunny cold days? I've drawn a sketch representing a system in which it is integrated through the central heating that I think would work, but does it sound feasable to you?
