DIY Greenhouse Heating and Cooling
How 2 Build Green: The Sustainability Podcast
Jerome Osentowski and I discuss a greenhouse system called the Climate Battery. This is very simple greenhouse design or diy greenhouse. This system takes hot air in a greenhouse and stores it underground in inexpensive foundation pipes. And during the night when cold temperatures set in, it releases the warm air via small fans back into the greenhouse. It will do the opposite in hot climates! This is a really cool system that will allow you to eat organic and lower your food expenses!

We talk with Kelly Hart about earthbag building. As a natural building proponent, I am really getting excited about the possibilities with this basic sustainable building material. Think about it. We can use a product that in many cases can be used directly from the sit = low embodied energy. There is missing audio about 5 minutes in...but just keep listening. It is good information regarding earthbag homes and low cost building.
