   Since buildings are not totally sealed (at the very minimum, there is always a ground level entrance), the stack effect will cause air infiltration. During the heating season, the warmer indoor air rises up through the building and escapes at the top either through open windows, ventilation openings, or unintentional holes in ceilings, like ...

3. Attic fan - Wikipedia

7. Radiant barrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_barrier

9. Seasonal thermal energy storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_thermal_energy...

   In hot climates, exposing the collector to the frigid night sky in winter can cool the building in summer. The six-month thermal lag is provided by about three meters (ten feet) of dirt. A six-meter-wide (20 ft) buried skirt of insulation around the building keeps rain and snow melt out of the dirt, which is usually under the building.
