Beautiful Energy Efficient Houses

The idea of owning a house with the sun as an energy source was very interesting.
Unfortunately, the design of solar heating systems are now less
attractive market tastes. But you can try pretty energy efficient home
OM Solar artificial. Want to try?

OM Solar, a company from Japan, is trying to market extended
by launching a solar heating system that can be combined
with any home design. The company has successfully sold 20 thousand
units of their products in Japan. Recently, they build a store in
Sausalito, California. According to Peter Miles from the OM Solar, this year
there are at least six homes in the U.S. will take advantage of these products.

How does it work? During the summer, the system is warmed
interior of the house, floors, and water. Roof panels of glass allows the sun
warms the air in the air channels under the
surface of the roof. Warm air temperature increases and some later
channeled to heat a hot water tank.

Then the hot air flow is channeled into a room made of
concrete below the ground floor. Concrete absorbs some heat
during the day and release it at night. Warm air is released
infiltrate into the ground and warm the room above it.

In the summer, this system of warm air breathed out after
warm air is used to heat water. This system also
absorbs heat in the room and channel it in the opposite direction
with the flow that occurred in the winter.

Then at night, this system stream of warm air into the concrete at
under the floor and the air is cooled before entering the space above
floor. You also have the option to add photovoltaic panels
which generate electricity.

To install this system at home, you only need to pay
extra for 8 to 15% of it should be. However, according to Miles,
This system allows you to save expenses for the cost of energy
for 40 to 75%.
