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.

The systems gather heat using a loop extending through a central heat pump to solar panels on the home's roof (solar - thermal), and to a depth of 180 feet below ground level (geoexchange).
