Passive Annual Heat Storage, PAHS House System. The PAHS system has several advantages:--- 1) It is very passive and simple, there are no moving parts, no electronics and it can work with no fuel other then the sun.---- 2) It keeps the house cool just as well as it keeps it warm. One of the problems with solar houses is they get too hot when the sun is shining.--- 3) If the sun doesn't shine for several days or even weeks you don't have to resort to keeping warm with fossil fuels. The system collects the heat in the summer and stores months worth in the ground around it.--- Passive annual heat storage is a method of collecting heat in the summertime, by cooling the home naturally,storing it in the earth naturally, then,returning that heat to the home in the winter. It includes extensive use of natural heat flow methods, and the arrangement of building materials to direct heat from where ever we get it to where ever we want it, all without using machinery to make it work. With the rising cost of energy, all home builders should get familiar with basic PAHS principles. #Energy_Conservation #Heber #House #Ken_McCarthy #Lee_Shea #PAHS #Passive_Annual_Heat_Storage #Utah
