Cut Out The Expensive Heating&Cooling Units

[@louiseswart1315]

Thank you for your integrity in sharing your wrong decisions too, and then the mitigation of the problems created by it. This is a very useful learning experience.

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

Never too late to learn and learn more! Thank you for your support!✌🏾

Low temperature phase change metal panels or pipes is great application to cool or heat inside the stones comparable to burying them underground for heat pump applications.

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

The metal will definitely contribute to the thermal mass heating and cooling effect!✌🏾

[@insAneTunA]

Yeah, the new tube design is a lot better. That was a good comment. 👍

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

Definitely glad we changed it up!✌🏾

[@rm6857]

Frequent updates are good.

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

I'll be trying that for sure!✌🏾

@@GrowTreeOrganics also i think youtoobe will be promoting you more. 20k subs should be no problemo

[@tibetfruit2324]

Very interesting concepts.

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

Thank you!✌🏾

[@leroyessel2010]

I like your contributions for this amazing project to emulate.

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

Really appreciate it! Thanks for watching our Journey!✌🏾

Thanks!

Really appreciate that!✌🏾

I love what you got Growing on😊 I'm learning so from you ✌🏽💚🌱

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

Thank you very much! Glad to have you on the Journey! Really appreciate your support!✌🏾

This should be taught in schools. Just the cooling aspect alone, no need for hvac bills

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

It definitely should!✌🏾

@@GrowTreeOrganics I’m sure you have your water setup figured out but if you look up how the romans changed the temp of their water, they did it with gravity and I can not explain it right but if you have any free time its cool how they did it.

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

@@TaxEvasion777 ohh yea I'll look more into that! I've done some investigating on ancient cultures and their water systems and such. I'll add that to my list though! Thank you!✌🏾

[@leroyessel2010]

Rammed earth mixed with hemp, papercrete, rubber tire crumb or wood chips I wonder would help. Instead of metal rebar that can rust the basalt volcanic rock rebar doesn't rust.

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

Multiple variations could be done for sure!✌🏾

[@lucastakeo7707]

What's the solution for keeping the pipe free of small animals? Also, what's the solution for moisture and mould?

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

We'll be closing off the entrance and exit points with metal mesh screen that will keep the rodents out. We also have 5 cats on guard!😅 we're also in Northern Arizona, very dry so that helps, but also constant air movement will help keep down moisture and mold. The cooling tubes will naturally dehumidify the air as well. Appreciate the question✌🏾

[@lucastakeo7707]

@@GrowTreeOrganics thank you for the answer

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

No worries ​@@lucastakeo7707 ✌🏾

Underground dome home looks good to keep cool but windows requires heat of AC proves the point.

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

Windows loose the heat for sure. But that's why we'll be doing a double greenhouse, per Earthship design for retaining heat. ✌🏾

[@pcatful]

I'd like to see a diagram! I wonder, it seems that you are making a thick wall barrier to the outside, then purposely bringing outside air into the underfloor?

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

I'll see what I can come up with! The climate battery will only use and circulate the air inside. The cooling tubes will be brining fresh air in!✌🏾

[@leroyessel2010]

How about bag homes covered with waterproof material or papercrete with eposy instead of cement domes encapusulated by dirt below surface?

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

So many options for design. We have to figure I think for ourselves what we want and what will work for our environment.✌🏾

[@SamsLiberty]

Will you need a thermal break in the back berm?

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

We will end up doing insulation on the berm just need to build it up some more!✌🏾

[@garryhancock3394]

Where did your roof trusses go? 😂

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

Are you watching the older videos to see where we've come? Funny to see where we were even a couple months ago!😅✌🏾

[@krisledrew3668]

that plastic will melt and burn and stink once you start your rocket stove...no?

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

The climate battery isn't connected to the rocket stove, it will only have the air from the room blown into it, so we shouldn't have any melting plastic!✌🏾

[@frictionhitch]

Your house looks awful. No worries. It is under construction. You guys will make a bunch of people eat their words. Well done. Great design!

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

😅Thanks it should hopefully look a bit better with a little time! ✌🏾

[@frictionhitch]

@@GrowTreeOrganics Have you considered a biogas system for your sewage? Why waste that methane when you can use it to run your fridge?

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

@@frictionhitch we've definitely got that in the plans! ✌🏾

[@frictionhitch]

@@GrowTreeOrganics You should show that. I am looking to build one myself. I am considering doing a multi-stage digestor. The first stage would be solar powered and heat it to about 140f for 1-5 days. The heat kills e-coli and so you end up with grade A mulch coming out of your system.

[@GrowTreeOrganics]

@@frictionhitch ahh I see! Interesting... I wasn't quite sure of our design, still on the drawing board. We'll see what comes out in the end!✌🏾
