A climate battery is a sustainable heating and cooling system that uses underground tubes to regulate air temperature and humidity, reducing external energy needs. It stores and redistributes heat, making greenhouses more efficient for year-round growing, even in cold climates.

A climate battery is a sustainable heating and cooling system that uses forced air and low-temperature geothermal energy. It circulates air through underground tubes, regulating temperature and humidity. Acting as a "heat bank," it stores heat from warm air and releases it as needed, reducing HVAC energy demands.

Understanding thermal lag and mass helps regulate in-ground building temperatures, benefiting eco-friendly structures like Earthbag Village and the Duplicable City Center. Thermal mass stores heat, and thermal lag delays its release, reducing reliance on HVAC systems by harnessing daily temperature cycles.

Thermal mass is a material's resistance to change in temperature and the ability to absorb and store heat energy. Thermal lag is the name given to the delay in the stored heat being released from the material as the ambient temperature decreases.
The #ClimateBattery sounds interesting @johntimaeus !
Ten years ago, I tried to build a small #HeatSink in my old polytunnel to buffer the worst of the heat. It failed completely. Probably that was due to a lack of thermal mass.
There is a German article on possible reasons in my old blog: https://www.heim-aquaponik.de/warmesenke-update-nach-dem-winter/
The other articles to the heat sink are here: https://www.heim-aquaponik.de/tag/warmesenke/
A climate battery could be difficult around here. When I checked the other day, the water level was just 75cm below surface level. Firstly it would be tricky to get the pipes in and then they would have to be completely watertight to allow airflow.
What's your design?
Die Sensoren für die Temperatur im Folientunnel und draußen haben mir zwar häufiger einen Streich gespielt, aber die erhalten Daten deuten nicht unbedingt auf einen Erfolg der Wärmesenke für den Winter hin. Wie man im Temperaturschrieb sehen kann, hat die … Weiterlesen →
