Verge Permaculture https://vergepermaculture.ca/ ... This is an exclusive, "HOW TO" PERMACULTURE VIDEO like you've likely never seen before.

Pieter Broere, a farmer from Alberta, Canada, unselfishly shares all of his engineering secrets about how to build and operate a PASSIVE SOLAR ENERGY workshop that uses SUNTUF® corrugated polycarbonate panels. Pieter built it to heat his large workspace, but his convection design can be used for almost any building in a cold climate, whether rural or urban.

And BTW, this isn't a new passive solar project that is untested in the real world. It has successfully operated for eleven years in a climate that can reach -40 temperatures. Is that number resonating? MINUS FORTY DEGREES. (Did you know that -40 is the same number whether F or C?)

It's a very simple design that anyone who is handy with a few wood-framing tools and a little electrical knowledge can build themselves.

Of all the arguments we make about the benefits of permaculture, this video will stop cold, pardon the pun, every naysayer who doubts that passive solar heating is cost-effective. Pieter's installation has paid for itself many times over, and almost a dozen years later it is still returning dividends.

Is that resonating too? I hope so–for the sake of the earth and your bank account.

If you don't watch this video all the way through to the end, and you don't comment, well, you might not be as serious about climate change as you've been telling everyone haha. Seriously though, we really want to know what you think, and how you might customize it for your use.

Watch through to the end to see how you can save a HAYMOW of MONEY on your heating bill every month. That alone is worth the price of admission and thirteen minutes and fifteen seconds of your time.

Success like this is hard to find, so enjoy and learn!

If you have questions, Rob and Pieter have answers.
