Further Information

Dial Corner will be a fossil-fuel-free home, ready for a time of resource scarcity, referred to as the post-hydrocarbon era. Being naturally heated, this home requires no conventional central heating system. No gas or oil central heating boilers, no radiators, no ground source or air source heat pumps. Dial Corner will emit neither carbon nor greenhouse gases from using fossil-fuels. Heat from the sun, heat from human occupants and heat from household appliances (fridges, freezers, cookers, TV's etc) replace the need for conventional heating. Heat from these sources is stored in the cement free concrete walls, floor and roof, each performing as large storage radiators. A 'heat sink'. Internal air temperatures will remain stable throughout the year, around 21 degrees centigrade. Heat stored in the building walls, roof and floor will be released in to the rooms at times when the temperature outside the building is lower than inside. This transfer of heat is a natural characteristic of what are referred to as 'high thermal mass' buildings. More heat is retained within the building fabric longer when more insulation is applied. It self-regulates its internal air temperature without resort to mechanical appliances, is naturally ventilated, generates its own energy, harvests its own water and manages its own waste.
