This technique uses vertical drilling to capture geothermal energy for heating with a minimal surface area. Sensors made of polyethylene tubing are inserted into wells spaced 5-10 meters apart near or under a house. The wells are then sealed with a gravel/sand and bentonite mixture to conduct heat and protect against landslides. A water/glycol mixture circulates through the closed system of sensors to extract heat from the natural underground temperature of 10°C. A standard water/water heat pump is used along with a floor heating or low-temperature central heating system inside, providing excellent performance coefficients of 4 or more due to the constant underground temperature.

Typical residential house construction in North America has long had vented attics above living space with the insulation and air control layer at the ceiling plane of the living space. Except for documented wintertime condensation issues in cold climates, such vented attics generally perform quite well, provided that they are ventilated adequately and air leakage from the interior is prevented. However, architects and designers are moving away from empty attics by using the attic space as conditioned storage or bonus rooms, or by designing larger interior volumes with cathedral ceilings. The practical challenges of ventilating cathedralized attics and cathedral ceilings have been significant, both because of increased geometrical complexity and because of the number of penetrations typically required for services.
Spray foam has been used successfully in tens of thousands of unvented roof assemblies throughout North America but some concerns remain in the building industry that these assemblies are inferior to ventilated roof assemblies. The National Building Code of Canada, in particular, makes it difficult for designers to use unvented roof assemblies, even using designs that are approved in similar building codes in the United States and have been proven to be durable, high-performing options. Over the past decade, the authors have been directly involved with studies of both 0.5 pcf (8 kg/m3) open cell spray foam, and 2.0 pcf (32 kg/m3) closed cell spray foam in unvented roof assemblies in various climates with continuous monitoring of temperature and moisture conditions. This paper provides a literature review of research that has been conducted on wood-framed sloped unvented roof assemblies, but will focus on results from a field monitoring study of sloped unvented wood roofs in partnership with the University of Waterloo, as well as a field survey that opened roofs and removed samples from aged unvented roof assemblies.

- Stack ventilation is a passive cooling strategy that relies on warm air rising and being replaced by cooler ambient air. It creates natural air currents with warm air evacuating through a high point and cooler outdoor air entering at a lower level.
- For the system to function properly, the indoor-outdoor air temperature difference needs to be at least 1.7 degrees Celsius. A greater temperature difference provides more effective air circulation and cooling.
- Increasing the height of a stack or using solar energy to heat the air in the stack can both increase the temperature difference between entering and exiting air.Radiant heating and cooling design

This document discusses the significant thermal impact that uninsulated concrete slab edges and balconies can have on the effective R-value and energy performance of building walls. While balconies make up a small percentage of total wall area, their low R-value of around R-1 can reduce the overall wall R-value by 40-60%. This negatively impacts energy code compliance and increases heating and cooling loads. The document evaluates different solutions for insulating slab edges and balconies, such as structural cut-outs, insulation wraps, and manufactured thermal breaks. Thermal breaks in particular are shown to improve the overall wall R-value and help meet increasing energy code requirements.Super Insulated Building Enclosures (SEABEC 2013)

Passive cooling techniques maximize natural heat removal without mechanical devices. They rely on evaporation, convection and radiation. Some key techniques include:
- Natural ventilation uses wind pressure differences and tall spaces to induce air flow.
- Shading reduces solar heat gain through overhangs, louvers and window placement.
- Courtyards and wind towers use thermal stacks to circulate air.
- Earth air tunnels and evaporative cooling take advantage of underground temperature stability and water evaporation to lower indoor temperatures naturally. Passive down draught and roof sprays also enhance evaporative cooling. Together, these minimize cooling loads through strategic design.Electric Underfloor Heating

This document contains information about different types of fire sprinkler systems:
- Wet pipe systems are the most common and use automatically activated sprinkler heads connected to an open water supply to immediately discharge water onto a fire. They can be used where temperatures do not drop below 40°F.
- Dry pipe systems use compressed air to hold a valve closed until heat activates sprinklers, decreasing air pressure and opening the valve to allow water flow. They are designed for freezing conditions.
- Deluge systems have open sprinkler heads connected to a dry pipe leading to a main water supply. They are used where large amounts of water are quickly needed to control fast fires. Activation opens a valve releasing water to all sprinklers. all sheets

- 1. Technique This technique is the most suitable for an area with limited space. It is enough to dispose the minimum surface to achieve the operations of vertical drilling. The capturing of the calories with vertical detectors requires drillings spaced min. 5-10 m, realized close to the house or under it before its construction. Geothermal sensors made of polyethylene tubings in U-shaped are introduced in the wells. After the installation of the sensors the holes are sealed with a mixture of gravel or fine vibrated sand and 'Bentonite', chose to assure a good heat conduction and a good protection against possible landslides, root attacks, … Then the principle is the one of a WATER/WATER heat pump with glycol water which circulates in a closed circuit in the senors to fetch the calories present in the natural cellar. The WATER/WATER heat-pump is a standard equipment, which generates the best performance coefficient, the house-side network is a classic installation of the type of floor heating or of central low-temperature heating; which gives a quite simple installation beside the drillings which demands a precise effort and study. The yields or performance coefficients are excellent (4 and more) because, from a depth of 12 m, the ground has a relatively constant temperature of 10°C, in any season, which corresponds to the optimal conditions to use the ground as a resource of heat.
