I don't know if this has been suggested before, but here goes :

How about a lightweight screen mounted behind the front seats, extending from side to side, and bottom to ceiling, that reduces the car's internal volume of air the AC (or ventilation) has to cool, or that the heater has to heat ?

Such a screen could be made out of coroplast, with heat-reflective foil on either side ; or out of flat panel insulation (like styrofoam).

The vents in the rear of the car would have to be closed off (more silica gel socks ?).

A clear window could be built in for rearward vision.


Obviously, this would be most interesting for people who've already taken out their rear seats, or who don't have rear seats at all (Insight I, CR-Z, ...)


Has anyone tried or tought of this ?
