[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3527821, member: 5412"] Quite a few underground homes in the Kay County area and surrounding counties built into hillsides. I was friends with one owner. His was one long house with a thermal window in every room looking out and outdoor murals on the back walls. I'm guessing 1500 sq ft. He burned a lot of wood that he had delivered in a very efficient stove that was equipped with a heat exchanger and fan to move heated air into every room during the winter. Being underground in the summer a small AC unit kept it cool from an inverter/battery system that got recharged by his wind tower. They had propane for cooking and electrical backup in case of emergency. In the 10 or so years I knew him before he passed away, he never used the backup electrical. [/QUOTE]
