[QUOTE="novatech, post: 813787, member: 5494"] The old timers that built houses before the advent of insulation and central heating systems, when all they had was a fireplace sometimes extended the fireplace into the walls where the mass of brick could give off heat all night. In the south they were concerned more with cooling. The wall framing was extended down through the floor to the beams. At the top the studs were extended up into the attic. This allowed a convection current to bring air from beneath the house and carry some of the heat to the attic. Some homes had transom windows above the doors and cupolas on the peak of the roof for the same reason. Almost forgot double hung windows. [/QUOTE]
