There is nothing new under the sun and it seems that is even
true with building technology. New “earth houses” are being made
that reflect designs that are thousands of years old and make
use of basic physics in order to aid heating and cooling. With
the advent of electrical power designs for living spaces
underwent a radical change- no longer were thick walls and
natural light considered design elements. Electricity was used
to heat and light the architectural spaces so the spaces
themselves had no reference to the natural world. But today with
the many concerns around energy (cost and pollution) designs
that take into account natural sun cycles and thick, insulating
walls are being resurrected and adapted for modern buildings.
Probably the easiest way to make use of the seasonal energy of
earth is by employing long eaves on your house. During the
summer the while the sun is at a higher angle in the sky the
