If you've never heard of SHCS and you are getting ready to build a new greenhouse...you need to research this method of heating and cooling thoroughly....you can cool and heat for only pennies a day :o

      I've had my eye on that design for quite a while. I need to buy a backhoe. The concept is so simple and elegant.

      I've been following this design for a long time. I have some support documents pertaining to SHCS but they aren't allowed on here or might be too large to post.
      Their website:

      Thanks for the posts. What do you mean by "but they aren't allowed on here"?

      Welcome, btw.

      badflash, when I tried to post a pdf document and the site wouldn't allow it. (The extension pdf is not allowed.) Here's the message, I tried to attach it again. Not sure if it was too big or because I'm a newbie member. The file is 1.91MB might be the problem.

      The document was put out by HUD in 1994 and shows how to isolate your foundation from the cold air above ground and at the same time capture the ambient warmth in the soil below. It's part of the information on how SHCS works. I have a design in mind but as always ideas and money aren't linked together when it comes to bringing a concept to fruition.
