Ancient homes utilizing clay/stone material for building development to better regulate interior building temperatures.
Passive energy systems have been around for centuries- as evidenced by ancient homes made of clay or stone that absorbed the sun's rays and moderated the living quarter's temperature throughout the day. These heavy mass buildings utilized the laws of physics to store and shift energy before the popularity of mechanical HVAC systems. In recent years the advent of superinsulation, airtight envelopes, energy recovery ventilation, and high performance windows have improved upon the traditional passive energy concept and created an attractive alternative to purchased energy.
When combined with Infinite R phase change materials in ceilings, walls, or roofs, heat can be even more efficiently conserved. The Infinite R lightweight thermal massing material works by absorbing excess heat energy during peak times and then releases the heat later as the surroundings cool down. "Thermal Mass without the mass." When added to other passive energy systems, Infinite R phase change material can stabilize indoor building temperature and optimize comfort without breaking the bank! Paybacks in 2-5 years depending upon electricity costs.
Infinite R Phase Change Material - Cost Effective, Quick & Simple Instillation, Non-Toxic, Class A Fire and Smoke Rating, and 25+ Year Life.
Passive building principles apply to any type of building: newly built, modernized projects, single-family homes, multi-level apartments, offices, hi-rises, etc. Passive design strategies consider heat from all sources, including appliances, occupants, and other indoor origins. Because of this, passive energy systems result in measurable energy savings and efficiency, with enhanced comfort, air quality, and building resiliency. Passive buildings stay comfortable in all seasons and climates with nominal drafts (due to superinsulation and high-performance windows) and consistent air quality (due to the airtight envelopes), minimal temperature variance (due to energy recovery ventilation). Combined, these traits contribute to comfort and Net Zero or Net Positive goals, since the various building and occupancy heat sources reduce supplementary energy usage.
Overall, passive energy systems can be a great investment for any home or business! While passive buildings may cost slightly more (0-10%) to produce initially, the energy and HVAC lifecycle usage savings, improved air quality, comfort, and temperature consistency are well worth it. And, adding Infinite R Phase Change Materials makes the results almost infinitely better!
