We just finished posting a video on YouTube showing how well the window shades developed to compliment our thermal mass window system work. while it was specifically designed to work with the thermal mass windows, these shades can reduce the cooling needs of any home that experiences solar heat gains during the cooling season. These are the first prototypes to be installed on a home and are functioning to reduce the cooling needs of this home dramatically. I will post more about the geothermal cooling system when I have some time, but lets just say that is far from conventional.

Shading windows saves a lot of money on running air conditioners . However, it can make homes a little dark and depressing. Just don't go too dark.
ReplyDeleteGood post and nice shades
ReplyDeleteSolar systems in fact helps in multiple ways and continue to serve their purpose for well over 30 years after they are installed. On the maintenance front as well, Solar Water Heating Systems run at top efficiency and face minimal breakdowns with the least amount of routine maintenance.
