549 Using the Sun's Light to Defeat the Sun's Heat

Message no. 549 Posted by Thomas Culhane (1311520071) on Sunday, March 4, 2007 3:42pm Subject: Solar Air Conditioning: Using the Sun's Light to Defeat the Sun's Heat

We've created and posted a new video to accompany chapter 14's hopeful message of changing behavior to save the environment -- this one on Air Conditioning. It shows our neighborhood in Cairo (and the interior of our ugly egyptian apartment) and the Deb's park solar airconditioning system in Los Angeles where they not only get al their cooling from the sun, but simultaneous get all their hot water, distill and purify dirty water and recycle all their grey and black water. They are completely independent from the city grid, producing all their own electricity, and independent from city sewage systems.

Take a look at it here:
