Hmm, we tried radiant heaters but found that they weren't really heating the area more efficiently than the electric floor registers that were costing us money. They were floor units though, not really something that would go above a desk. Are you talking about something like this? https://www.amazon.com/Ceiling-Radiant-Heater-Electric-Outdoor/dp/B01L76CRR4
I was considering a tarp when I was first planning it out, but they were too heavy for my original plan. (hanging it from the walls and then supporting the center from above) I guess I didn't consider it again after thinking about a PVC-based support system. Maybe something like this but a bit bigger? Or I guess I could tie two of them together... https://www.amazon.com/Arcturus-Heavy-Duty-Survival-Blanket/dp/B01H4VAKYS
I don't know much about insulation, so I apologize if I have this wrong, but I think if I'm blocking the airflow that's a good start, but the heat would still leak out over time with R1 wouldn't it? The more heat I can keep in the less I have to run the heater to keep the space warm, I just don't know how to find the most efficient balance between weight and insulation. Would that just be R2?
And yeah... I've lived in cold houses before when I couldn't afford to turn on the furnace. It's definitely doable, but it's kind of miserable. I would be warm when bundled up but I would feel claustrophobic and start to panic, so I'd take things off and then I'd be cold and it would just cycle. I would prefer to look at what can be done to improve things before telling him to just toughen up.
