Solar Radiant Heating

Future Generations’ offices are heated with solar energy. Solar panels on the roof heat water from a nearby stream that is stored in an insulated holding tank beside the office. When the temperature of the tank is sufficient to heat the office, the hot water circulates throughout the radiant-heat tubing in the floor. Radiant heating was first used by the Romans in 60AD and is common throughout Europe . Its advantages are: a consistent and comfortable heat, safe, quiet and efficient. Located on top of North Mountain in West Virginia, nestled in the trees, we require no air conditioning. Gentle breezes cool our offices.
