Solar passive houses are amazing, as long as the sun is shining it is warm and comfortable in summer and winter. The polished concrete floors act as a massive thermal battery bank, absorbing the heat in the day time and only releasing it when the air temperature gets lower than the floor temperature. This means that in winter the house can stay at a comfortable temperature, it only cools off after two to three day of rainy weather (we have a log burner for these times). This house also converts the suns energy to electricity with our solar array and store it in large battery bank which we draw from at night or if we have rainy days. Our house is designed around energy efficiency and but also about extracting the most out of our solar array.

“Our southern rooms are so much warmer now we have the Home Heat Transfer System” Customer Comment .

Our Customers have a beautiful warm north facing room that gets sun for most of the day. But their southern rooms and bathrooms are cold and damp. The accumulated heat in the north facing room almost makes it uncomfortably warm during the day.

The Solution; Install a home heat transfer system to circulate this beautiful warm air through the cold southern rooms.

The Result; by circulating the air through the house, the home heat transfer system has lifted southern room daytime temperatures from 16 to 22 degrees and reduced the heat build up, making it comfortable in the north facing room.

The Home Heat Transfer System includes a Honeywell Smart Controller that follows a schedule, temperature target and fan speed, so it really is set and forget.
