New Solarium & Mudroom -- Schoolhouse Energy Retrofit

Pictures of the new combination solarium and mudroom that was added as a part of the schoolhouse energy retrofit.

 

The solarium provides quite a bit of additional solar glazing, and the heat from the solarium is distributed to the house using blower and duct system.

 

The solarium also provides additional space that is comfortable much of the time.
