Geo Solar Home
Solar power is the best available renewable form of energy and has wide range of applications in commercial,residential as well as technological areas.
Geo solar homes utilize energy from both the sun and earth for heating and cooling purposes. In these homes, solid wood walls substitute siding, framing, insulation, and paneling. Owing to this design, air flows around the building, creating a miniature biosphere. This air envelope is heated by the sun’s energy.
As the heated air circulates, geothermal energy is absorbed from beneath the house. The wood walls absorb and store energy, which creates a thermal inertia causing the house to maintain a comfortable temperature.
Geo solar homes are energy efficient due to the following aspects:
Solid wood construction
Using natural sources to generate energy
Turning the house into a heat pump
The role of the air envelope
The "floating" factor:
