Patent ID: 8322092

Claim:
A geosolar temperature control building construction system wherein a concrete wall defines a temperature delivery system, comprising: said concrete wall having insulation on at least an outwardly facing surface, said concrete wall having a first portion positioned at a first elevation relative to the earth, said first elevation being below a grade where said building construction is located; a passive thermal transfer system comprising an inwardly facing surface of said concrete wall being free of insulation at said first elevation to expose said concrete wall to thermal conditions at said first elevation and thermally couple said building to said earth; said concrete wall defining an exterior wall of said building construction generally near a floor slab, said floor slab positioned at a second elevation of said concrete wall above said first elevation, said concrete wall having a second portion above said second elevation; an active thermal transfer system comprising a closed loop piping system having a plurality of horizontally extending pipes disposed beneath said floor slab, said plurality of horizontally extending pipes further extending upwardly within said insulated concrete wall and into said second portion; a first thermal transfer liquid passing through said closed loop piping system, said first thermal transfer fluid receiving thermal energy in said horizontally extending pipes beneath said slab from at least one temperature controlled zone and actively transferring said thermal energy to said exterior wall; said exterior wall having a plurality of uninsulated surfaces adjacent an inside surface of said exterior wall within said building, said closed loop piping of said active thermal transfer system disposed adjacent said uninsulated surfaces to transfer thermal energy into or out of the building and control interior building temperature; and, a geosolar thermal transfer system comprising a solar collector and at least one vertically extending solar recharge loop, said geosolar thermal transfer system one of: (a) receiving solar energy for storage in the earth beneath a lowermost floor of said building downward and within a perimeter of said concrete wall or (b) discharging thermal energy from the ground to atmosphere to create said at least one temperature controlled zone in the earth beneath a lowermost position of said building and downward and within a perimeter of said concrete wall.
