low energy house

The idea has a home with the sun as a source of energy is really interesting.
Unfortunately, the design of solar heating system that is now less

OM Solar made. Want to try?

OM Solar, a company from Japan, is trying penetrated market

flowed a floatation tank for heating hot water.

air to absorb heat in the room and their opposite directions
with the flow that occurred in the winter.

Then at night, this system warm air stream to the space in the concrete
under the floor and the air is cooled before entering the space above
floor. You also have the option to add panel-panel photovoltaic
that generate electricity.
