6. Passive house - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_house

   A building based on the passive house concept in Darmstadt, Germany. Passive house (German: Passivhaus) is a voluntary standard for energy efficiency in a building that reduces the building's carbon footprint. [1] Conforming to these standards results in ultra-low energy buildings that require less energy for space heating or cooling.

7. Ground-coupled heat exchanger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-coupled_heat_exchanger

   The closed loop system can be more effective cooling the air (during air temperature extremes) than an open system, since it cools and recools the same air. Open system: Outside air is drawn from a filtered air intake (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value MERV 8+ air filter is recommended) to cool or preheat the air. The tubes are typically 30 m ...
