Earthtubing for sustainable, passive geothermal heating & cooling Earthtubes (earthtubing) are a most highly recommended low - tech, sustainable, non-electric, zero - energy, geothermal passive solar heating and solar cooling system.

Here are just some of the many benefits that these systems provide all at once: green infrastructure absorbs and sequesters atmospheric carbon dioxide (C02); filters air and water pollutants; stabilizes soil to prevent or reduce erosion; provides wildlife habitat; decreases solar heat gain; lowers the public cost of stormwater management infrastructure and provides flood control; and reduces energy usage through passive heating and cooling.

Well then it would be like the passive solar hot water system that does not have a defined lapse rate but does convect under a varying heat source and averages a greater temperature than the ambient local temperature (which has the GHG effect included already).

It's the analogy to the passive solar water heating system.

Myrrh says: January 26, 2012 at 6:50 pm It's the analogy to the passive solar water heating system.

Basic Passive House concepts Passive House criteria Principals of thermal insulation Airtight building design and construction Glazing system issues including thermal transfer mechanisms, solar heat gain, and installation thermal bridges Basic ventilation concepts as well as issues related to mechanical and passive ventilation and system design.

It also included pioneering use of composting toilets, a greywater and garden system, and passive solar water heating for domestic hot water, radiant heat in floors & indoor forced air.

I use solar panels, propane gas, greywater system and passive solar heating and cooling.»

The two general types of solar heating systems are passive systems and active systems.

The highlight is most probably Fred's impressive, self - built woodstove, which is part of a gravity - fed, wood - fired, passive solar, «rocket - stove - informed» water heating system.

In addition to many low or non-volatile organic compound sealers and paints, the Matson & Associates Eco-Building features passive solar design, tongue and grove maple from a local mill, and concrete slab floor which functions as a temperature regulator and also contains an in - floor radiant heating system.

But about 15 years ago, a Swiss architect developed and patented a wall system that provides passive solar heat gain for new homes and buildings.
