Structure utilizing geothermal energy

Abstract

A structure utilizing geothermal energy capable of effectively utilizing a thermal energy in an underground constant temperature layer while using a supplementary heater and an air conditioner and natural energies such as solar heat or solar light, wind power, and water power in order to prevent limited fossil energies such as petroleum, gases, and coal from being exhausted, wherein an insulating wall (A) formed of a plurality of insulation panels ( 1 ) connected to each other and extending from a ground surface ( 4 ) to the underground constant temperature layer ( 21 ) is buried in the ground while surrounding a building ( 22 ) adhesively to the ground exposed portion and the underground buried portion of a foundation ( 5 ).

1 . A structure utilizing geothermal energy comprising an insulating wall extending from a ground surface to an underground constant temperature layer and buried in a ground while surrounding a building.  
     
     
         2 . A structure utilizing geothermal energy according to  claim 1 , wherein said insulating wall is buried to surround a building foundation.  
     
     
         3 . A structure utilizing geothermal energy according to  claim 2 , wherein said insulating wall is buried in close contact with a ground exposed portion and an underground buried portion of said building foundation.  
     
     
         4 . A structure utilizing geothermal energy according to  claim 2 , wherein said insulating wall is buried at a location spaced from said ground exposed portion or said underground buried portion of said building foundation.  
     
     
         5 . A structure utilizing geothermal energy according to  claim 4 , wherein: an inner ventilator is mounted in said ground exposed portion or in a wall of the building for providing a communicative connection between a closed space between said ground exposed portion of said building foundation and said insulating wall and a building interior; and an outer ventilator is mounted in said insulating wall for providing said communicative connection between said closed space and an outside.  
     
     
         6 . A structure utilizing geothermal energy according to  claim 1 , wherein a bottom face of the building contacts directly with said ground surface in the area surrounded by said insulating wall.  
     
     
         7 . A structure utilizing geothermal energy according to  claim 1 , wherein rubbles are filed between said bottom face of the building and said ground surface in the area surrounded by said insulating wall.  
     
     
         8 . A structure utilizing geothermal energy according to  claim 2 , wherein a mat foundation extending partially or wholly from said bottom face of the building contacts directly with said ground surface in the area surrounded by said insulating wall.  
     
     
         9 . A structure utilizing geothermal energy according to  claim 2 , wherein said rubbles are filled between said mat foundation extending partially or wholly from said bottom face of the building and said ground surface in the area surrounded by said insulating wall.  
     
     
         10 . A structure utilizing geothermal energy according to  claim 1 , wherein said insulating wall is constructed of insulation panels made of synthetic resin.  
     
     
         11 . A structure utilizing geothermal energy according to  claim 10 , wherein the insulation panels made of synthetic resin have moisture permeable holes for providing the communicative connection between the inside and the outside of said insulating wall.  
     
     
         12 . A structure utilizing geothermal energy according to  claim 1 , wherein said insulating wall is constructed by connecting hollow pipes made of synthetic resin or metal in close contact to each other.  
     
     
         13 . A structure utilizing geothermal energy according to  claim 12 , wherein said hollow pipes made of synthetic resin or metal have said moisture permeable holes for providing the communicative connection between the inside and the outside of said insulating wall.
