www.ourcoolhouse.com The undergrowth is thick enough for us to almost get lost in the back-yard again. For a change, the Geothermal cooling is getting a work out. Our Adventure: Rather than building a traditional Energy-Hog home, or even a non-traditional Energy-Efficient home, our new home is a unique fusion of energy efficient techniques, and environmental sanity. To find out more about our goals and how we got to where we are now, use the left-hand menu to navigate the site. Starting at the top of the menu and working down is a great way to get oriented. The newest site features are usually indicated by a flashing finger. com This site is all about building a cool, energy efficient house, that makes maximum use of earth sheltered design, passive solar heating and cooling, geothermal exchange energy management, and right sizing of the house for it's designated use. The home's placement is on a south-facing hillside in Deep Creek Lake, Maryland. This site describes the design process, the technologies used and the expected results. |
