No harm at all to also consider materials aka 'concrete' blocks that simply catch heat and slow release in night time. Think greenhouse effect on a block of concrete or slow release material. Does work. Low-tech.
yes, could be a very worthwhile consideration. Especially around the challenge of heating and cooling. In my tiny house currently I don't have really concrete storage blocks (yet). The house is mostly wood and Rockwool as insulation.
The good news is despite ‘tech’ you only need point a glass or a window (for sunlight) onto a block or can (oil can, anything ugly or nice) and it’ll absord all day and slow release all night. I designed a house once for 30% heating in irish (!) climate usting just this. It really works. Don’t need much more. Tiny heating tip right there!
