That's basically a ghetto version of the pasivhaus approach. In passive houses, you have one heavy interior wall, pained dark/black, facing a large, south-facing window. This wall gets to absorb lots of sunlight during the day, and then heats up the house 24/7.

It's good to get a CO2 meter for that, to make sure there isn't too much or not enough air exchange going on.
