Passive solar heating and cooling works in any home or business and will totally erase your heating and cooling costs. Hi to Joe, whom I had the chance to discuss solutions for heating and cooling Mini-Storage projects as shown in the pictures section of this site. Leave message in comments and we can share knowledge. John from Kelso. arclockventuri@gmail.com
What excites you about this campaign?
Hopefully people will get up and do something for themselves instead of sitting in their chair and complaining about their expensive "Heating" and "Cooling" costs.
What do you want to do to help?
I gladly share my knowledge. SIMPLY ask for information and methods

Cooling seems to be a larger question these days, as the heat is dynamically affecting my cooling processes, and simple convection air movement has not reduced the temperatures in the attic areas. My home is very old, so there are not eaves and no air vents to release air out of side vented locations in the attic, so I will have to make some serious changes to my roof structures in order to get the air to leave that confined space. Also, ther resulting condensation at night is creating moisture in ceiling areas, making it harder to determine if there is a leak in the roof or the attic itself...The ideal effort would be to rebuild the entire roof and attic, develop the downdraft fans for fall and winter warming, and create roof air removal via solar powered vent fans, which I almost did last fall, but had to delay it due to cost and non-availability of the products, since everyone scrambled to get the tax deductions and I was left without the means to buy them locally. Thanks for the follow up. Wish I was a better student, however...!
I spent 21 yrs in Astoria, Or. I now live in Louisiana and the summer time temps outside are usually in the mid 90's and my attic can reach 140', I'm not sure if this system would work here.
I surely miss the NW, but my wife is from here and we have 2 fantastic grandkids, hard to leave that.
I try to make it home every couple yrs.
Keep it green
