Retro Tech to reintroduce:

I have been thinking the future will look alot like the early part of the 20th century and bradhicks has laid out four ways in which this should be true.

His full post is on his blog but here is a summary of retro tech to reintroduce:

1. Ceiling fans in every room. In the summer they suck up cold air from the floor and in the winter they blow down hot air from the ceiling to the floor. Every room used to have them.

2. Window awnings They shield the house from direct sunlight in the summer keeping things cool and they allow windows to be open during rain letting in cooler air in the summer.

3. Weedy but fast growing trees like sugar maples, sweet gums, Bradford pears, or Tree of Heaven. To the west, east and south they shield the house from the sun in summer but let in the sun in winter. Gardeners got away from them because they need replacing every 40 to 60 years.

4. Attic fans Suck hot air from the whole house and then sends it through the attic and then out through the vents to keep the air up there cooler by circulation.


Bonus move: keep doors to rooms you do not use often shut. No need to heat or air condition a room you do not use often.
