Perimeter Temperature Controlled Heating and Cooling System

Abstract

A temperature controlling system for buildings is provided. A temperature conditioned perimeter cavity extends around the structure and maintains desired temperature within the structure. The perimeter cavity is insulated and provided an energy storing medium of air, fill material or baffles. The perimeter cavity is temperature conditioned by transfer of energy to the perimeter cavity, particularly by exchange from the perimeter foundation below the perimeter cavity, by geothermal exchange from a below ground energy storage container or energy collecting probe, or a combination of both. The system is applied to a grain silo having an insulated first grain silo forming an outside wall member and a smaller circumference second grain silo forming an inside wall with a temperature conditioned perimeter cavity defined between the two grain silos.

1 . A method of climate control of a building interior space including the steps of:
 providing an energy storage device buried beneath the freeze line below ground;   providing a perimeter cavity within a entirety of a perimeter wall of the building;   transferring geothermal energy from the energy storage device to the perimeter cavity situated within the building's perimeter wall using an energy transferring conduit; and   controlling temperature of the perimeter cavity of room using geothermal energy from the energy storage device.   
     
     
         2 . A method of climate control of a building interior space as in  claim 1  including the additional step of providing an energy absorbing and storing fill material in the perimeter cavity. 
     
     
         3 . A method of climate control of a building interior space as in  claim 1  including the additional step of providing a plurality of air baffles within the perimeter cavity for controlling the movement of air and increasing energy storage within the perimeter wall.
