ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for heating and cooling buildings, particularly chickenhouses, wherein low grade heat is obtained from below the frost line and, by heat exchange means, the low grade heat is used to heat or cool air which is then ducted into the building. This conditioned air circulates within the building and exits through horizontal vents extending substantially continuously around the periphery of the building near the floor thereof, which vents connect the inside of the building to vertical open wall channels within the walls of the building. The wall channels are connected at the top of the walls to similar channels in the roof of the building and into which the air passes. Exhaust means connected to the roof channels allow the air to exit to the atmosphere. The system provides an energy efficient and economic means for heating in winter and cooling in summer by utilizing the low grade heat of the earth obtained from below the frost line which, in the United States, ranges from about 45.degree. F. to 65.degree. F., depending on latitude.
