• Feb. 5, 2007 - Natural geothermal cooling

Posted in Architecture

Here is information on the natural form of geothermal cooling we are planning on using. It was actually developed by the Romans. Most of the technology we will be using, actually is not new at all. My kids will see what was learned long ago, applied today in modern construction. I think that is kind of neat. And we (our culture), think we are so smart!
