Learn how you can take advantage of the soil’s moderating temperatures for cooling and passive climate control in buildings, workshops, and more. Living Web Farms’ Black Soldier Fly breeding facility uses the energy of the sun and the heat capacity stored in the earth’s subsoil to create a controlled inside climate with minimal or no energy input.
Richard Freudenberger, is our Energy and Resource Coordinator and will explain how the system works, what materials are used, and what factors you need to know before embarking on a project of your own. We’ll look at siting, costs, calculations, limitations, and what does and does not work with real-world expectations when installing your earth cooling tube ventilation system. In part 3, Richard starts by explaining the heating capacity of dry soil.
Holy sh*t, this guy knows just enough to give some really bad advice. Hopefully the audience know enough to filter the BS.
Thank you Richard, very transparent and detailed explanation. In my opinion participants very much understood your presentation. In my opinion this can be implemented in every house, up to some extent, and save energy as well as expenses for electricity. Thanks again for great presentation.
Sorry I forgot to say that watched all 3 parts
Two hours on how to bury a stupid pipe. Isn't this a research center? How about some science and numbers?
Thank you so much for all the great information! I am extremely interested in this idea for my personal home, will have to def take into consideration how to properly treat the humidity/mold/mildew/ etc. Hopefully there are answers for that. Also feel that Radon should also be heavily considered in this situation as well.
Great vid i’ll be reaching out
What if youre around a water supply like a river or pond.. you put a pump with a radiator type setup hooked up.. can heat it with a firebox.. that wraps around a portion of the pipe that transfers the air.. heats the ground around the pipe and keeps a constant temp thru the winter in cold climates.. almost like radiant floor heating but uses the same system as the cooling
