  • Very nice design. but both people pictured appeard to be sweating.

    is the cooling method not working very well?

  • @seanbrockest: the building temp was okay actually... maybe they had just been outside recently (?) as it was unbelievably hot and humid the day this was filmed!!!

  • @GRIDKEEPER Golden

  • That angled sun side is an awesome idea.

  • i agree with the last statement if we're talking short term, but i believe that in the long term buildings like this would pay themselves back economically and environmentally..

  • GOOD WORK.

  • So why can't all buildings be like this? I imagine it's not economically viable right now - it costs way more money than it saves.

  • Cool! But I wish I could understand him better.

  • Wonderful! Now this would be a great fieldtrip.
