Vertical window in wall. The draft is only a slight one as I have the window opening filled with 3/4 inch Styrofoam behind the two pane glass. > In Finland where we can have -30°C outside the typical solution is an > argon filled 2 or 3 pane window with low-e coatings and a radiator under > the window.

A radiator under the window is what I am making. This room is a corner room with two windows, so they gave it two heating vents (forced air), but they are on either side of the *other* window as that's the direction the rafters in the floor run. To put one of the vents under this window would require the ducts to run under the rafters rather than between them lowering the ceiling further in the basement. -- Rick C
