While seeking clean energy sources, we also focus on optimising our designs to reduce energy requirements. By eliminating conventional A/C systems, we can reduce our energy needs by 50%. We have implemented three methods of alternative cooling: passive cooling, active circulation, and geothermal heat transfer.

The active component involves mechanically extracting hot air from the ceiling zone, which encourages perimeter airflow, enhanced by internal fans that recirculate the air. Passive vents are strategically placed within the floor voids of the elevated structure to naturally draw cooler air from beneath the shaded structure. Utilizing a closed-loop geothermal system allows us to circulate water underground, achieving a temperature reduction of up to 10 degrees, depending on the soil type. This cooled air is then distributed to living spaces through a series of vents and fans, functioning similarly to a modern heat pump but without the high costs.
