About the Book
This book is an innovative, yet practical, guide for the pioneer in Passive Annual Heat Storage. It explains in detail the ultimate in year round energy conservation. Without mechanical equipment or commercial power, Passive Annual Heat Storage inexpensively cools a home through blistering hot summers. It saves those precious BTUs, and then returns them automatically when they are needed to keep the home comfortable through frigid northern winters. Summer's excess heat is, of course, free solar energy. Nonmechanical YEAR ROUND storage of this abundant natural resource is a whole new technology. Its basic concepts, goals, and methods are substantially different from the passive solar heating with which most readers are familiar. This book presents these unique concepts in a clear and easy to understand manner.
About the Chapter
Chapter 1, "Improving the Earth Shelter," discusses passive heat storage in the earth. Then the first working example of annual heat storage is presented. Passive Annual Heat Storage is defined. The chapter concludes with brief discussion about cost.
