Yes indeed. Is my whole plan.

Isn’t that house a bit too warm for a region I imagine gets pretty hot in the summer? What are you thinking of doing for temperature control—assuming you’re not going with AC or something like that?

You don't think it's sufficiently underground for the earth to absorb the heat?

I’m not very knowledgeable about physics and engineering, so that’s why I’m asking. But it makes sense. It’s just that I always imagined that somewhat underground structures would be warmer. I’m also thinking about air circulation, which I guess is important for temperature regulation too.

Yes, good thinking. That's why I made a small window

on the backside of the house, and also will come another one, larger of 2m long by 80cm (with a small side part to open). On the front wall apart from the door will be also 2 small windows that can be opened and create an air flow.

I was also thinking to use the chimney as an air conditioner tool. There's a way to use it in the summer to bring fresh air (especially in the night) inside.

I know our basement stays cool all summer, because of the cool dirt surrounding it.

Good air flow is still a concern, though.

THIS. The underground houses, always will have a constant temperature.

Wow don't see Darth referencing the federal government very often
