Energy, 1980, vol. 5, issue 5, 451-465

Abstract: Earth-sheltered buildings use dramatically less energy than conventional designs, as is shown by a computer study of single and two storey residences. Various insulating techniques are discussed for windows, and for roofs, walls, and floors of earth-sheltered houses and for basements of conventional houses.
