ABSTRACT:
A section of a cement block building, usually a dwelling place, is illustrated with six versions of the means to carry out the basic concept.
At some distance below the earth's surface, the temperature of the earth structure is substantially constant. This statement is in the context of normal building structure erected by man. The known increase in temperature at great depths is excluded from the operation of this invention.
The depth to which one must go to experience constant year around temperatures will vary with location and this invention is more useful in those areas which do not experience extreme temperature variations, but which do require heat and cooling for best dwelling comfort.
The earth below the surface is a huge heat sink, capable of absorbing unlimited heat energy from a higher source, or giving energy to a lower energy level area.
Thus, this invention provides a thermal transport to and from the earth's constant level depth, and surrounds a dwelling with a grid to cause the building interior to proximate the earth temperature, which is warmer than the winter cold and cooler than summer heat.
