Answer:
About the only system that appears to elleviate this sort of situation is to lower the garage ceiling creating a crawl space. The walls and floor of this crawl space are heavily insulated and the area heated. The depth of the space is not that important but air has to be able to circulate there. This makes the space above comparable to the rest of the house as regards heat.
