The 21st century requires a new vision of architecture and of our relationship to planet Earth. In order to properly sustain ourselves as a people, we Americans must see how we are interconnected to all peoples of the Earth. Not only in a "global economy" but in a global family. NASA's famous photo of the Earth as seen from the moon should become our guiding image.
Rooftop collectors are typical only for "Active Solar" design. These characteristic roof mounted boxes generate either hot water or electricity. Sun-Earth Homes can incorporate active solar as "add-on" features at any time - budget permitting. Our Midwestern winters have plenty of cloudy, overcast days.
Airfloors are key to achieving the remarkable energy-efficiency of Sun-Earth Homes designed by Watrous Associates Architects. An Airfloor unit is a piece of sheet metal stamped into a bowl shape, with an opening on each of four sides - like an igloo with four entrances. The completed size is 12" x 12" x 3.5" high.
