Energy comparisons and where to insulate earth-sheltered buildings and basements

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

Abstract Earth-sheltered buildings use dramatically less energy than conventional designs, as is shown by a computer study of single and two storey residences. Various insulating techniques are discussed for windows, and for roofs, walls, and floors of earth-sheltered houses and for basements of conventional houses.
