- sbov 7y agoA custom net zero home, which is what you've linked here, sounds pretty damn expensive. Unless money is no object, you're probably better off slapping some extra solar panels on your existing McMansion.
- howard941 7y agoThe science direct article content was excellent for new builds. Up until the early 70s, when draining Florida was still a thing, before depletion concerns, some neighboring homes had an air conditioning mode routing pumped shallow aquifer ground water through the air handler for cooling, and dumping the warmed water. I wonder if a heat exchanger to a deeper aquifer is a practical alternative.
