If the loft covers the amount of space you need, the key is insulation. the underside of the loft needs ~R-20 to prevent heat loss upward. the partition wall needs to be near that, maybe ~R-15. Concrete follr on grade will try to be very cold around the edges, and OK to 50 in the center. Insulating the outside of the foundation with Pink/blue 2 styrene will reduce heat loss in the concrete edges. If the concrete is poured inside the perimeter ignore the last thing. Passive solar can add heat and there are plans for DIY or contractor constructed systems. Pellet/corn stove might then be economical enough. Insulate the garage door as well. Foil backed foam can work there. Up front costs are going to be more dramatic than desired, but continuous costs will pay out. Heat pump geothermal can also be a solid consideration. Jim
