Re: Natural home cooling

Well I have continued to do a lot of research, and this is by far not a new idea. Apparently this was a buzz worthy idea in the 70's and 80's but ended up busting due to environmental concerns. Mold, fungi, and bacteria ended up creating environmental concerns. The gravel drainage bed that I incorporated was specifically mentioned as having become choked with air quality hazards. Given my six month old child, I will not be doing anything that could reduce the air quality in the house.

Back to the drawing board I guess... however I am not ready to give up on the idea entirely. Perhaps an indirect system like what lawcat suggested. It would lose efficiency, but perhaps be safer.
