  • @Haddow VI: For you information, my comment was not one of hate, it's meant as constructive criticism to produce better videos in the future.

  • @vervegrande hater

  • The guitar music is a distraction to your informative video, especially when people are speaking!

  • 1 oil company exec saw this

  • @111dcormack Geothermal works just fine without hot springs, it uses the earths constant temperature as a way to transfer heat when it's hot in the summer and cool in the winter to regulate the temperature inside the home. And those windows are part of the design, they allow the sun to shine in and warm up the home in the winter and in the summer the design of the roof doesn't allow the sun to come into the home.

  • Those are some pretty inaccurate statements you make about geothermal heating and cooling there 111dcormack, perhaps you should educate yourself on the technology. I'm assuming if I decided to give you the facts you wouldn't listen to me anyways...

  • Wow! Real green people! With all those windows and they still have to run lights? Really energy consious. And 2 people live in a freeekin 4000 square house??? Green my aaarse!

    Geothermal doesnt work unless you are sitting on a gyser or hot springs. They got sucked in! What they wont discuss is their heating bill with all those windows and the heat loss.

    Sounds like there plumbing/hvac guys really soaked these people.

    Seriously!

  • Good lord people this was uploaded 2 years ago on this channel, who knows how much older the actual video is (the award was in 2000) - give them a break on the vid production.

  • Build small. High Thermal Mass. Earth Integrated. South facing Homes. Done. This is a HUGE FAIL!!!

  • I am trying to learn how to do things like this. Whats the most effecient way I can afford. However there r no captions for Deaf ppl so we get left in the dark.
