Passive Heating
Wednesday, November 4, 2009 at 2:51PM 
The idea of the Passive House has been applied successfully in Germany and throughout Europe but has been slow to receive attention in the U.S. Passive houses use a combination of technologies such as super-insulation, elimination of thermal bridges, an airtight shell, and heat-recovering ventilation to seal a house in order to prevent the loss of thermal energy through the structure or through air circulation.
Ideally passive houses would be heated solely by human body heat and the use of electrical appliances. This is possible in temperate climates that do not have a large temperature difference between the interior and exterior of a building, but houses in more intensely cold areas must use an additional heating source.
At the smartFARM, the passive house model could be implemented in combination with a solar heater to provide heat during the colder winter months. Warm air from the solar heater would displace cool air in the house and provide the necessary ventilation for indoor air quality. During the summer air would be passed through underground pipes that would exchange heat with the earth creating a cool air current.
