Nice idea, but in my area for example this wouldn’t be a good solution. I live in a flood prone area.
Luckily there are many different solutions. What I find quite interesting are simple techs that also don’t require electricity, like a heat chimney, or a air supply from underground, air-flow designs in general.
Also, with already built houses there are even simple possibilities. What I’ve done successfully is letting a tree grow on the south west side, now in the evenings my walls and with that the inside area is much cooler.
This particular house was on a decent sized hill in the middle of a large flat area. I think the sea would have to rise 750ft or the closest river would have to flood half a state for it to flood their house. It wouldn’t work in my area either. I live in a large valley.
It definitely requires tons of money to do. I wonder if they’ve made back the difference in savings yet?
People really underestimate what a couple trees can do when strategically placed. Or how drastic the temperature difference can be between flat lawn and cops of trees. They’re giant cellulose and lignen heat sinks.
