Would you like to install it now?
A family in Duluth built a three-bedroom passive-solar home, packed with extra insulation, that uses one-fourth the usual amount of energy to run.

I sure wish I could do something like that. Maybe one day.

how is the water and glycol pumped through the house? (electrical motor?) what is the energy consumption used to run these pumps and is it a significant cost?
