A mechanical engineer and inventor, Brian Beaulieu designed his unique home to blend into the foothills of the Sonoran Desert. Nestled between the boulders, the structure is divided into a series of hexagonal pods. Among the home’s features are an outdoor living room, disguised solar panels, and an ingenious cooling system that uses water and hockey-rink technology to beat the desert heat.

The filming has an early 2000’s feel to it. Like House Hunters from 2005 or something lol I like it

@capitalismnfreedom3084 23 дня назад

Love these old style documentaries. Newer ones just dont feel the same.

The house is really cool but there's some assertions being made that are factually incorrect: radiant cooling and heating have been a thing for decades. Radiators and radiating surfaces (floor, ceilings, walls...) are literally everywhere in homes all around the world. Cooling/heating water is also the basic principle of Aerothermic heat pumps, which use distilled water instead of refrigerant for the heat exchange between the interior and exterior units. They can be used to climatize water or the spaces in a house. In fact all of these methods are used as default, at least in Europe, for new constructions since the 2000's.

Pumicecrete is by far the best building material on the planet Pumicecrete is a mixture of pumice cement and water mixed and poured into a set of reusable forms walls are poured from 12"to 24" thick pumicecrete is fireproof termite proof rust rot and mold proof non toxic and has a high R value and good sound attenuation solid poured walls means no critters can live in your walls Pumicecrete can be built for a fraction of the cost and time and pumice is one of the few building materials that can go directly from the mine to the job site ready to use without any additional possessing and zero waste Take care Ray

Nice integration of passive cooling into the design of the "pods".

@chipliddiard4313 4 часа назад

Very Nicely Done.

@fragout9575 17 дней назад

Radiant cooling isn't new. It's typically done through the floor though. I would think that having it in the ceiling would cause condension and possibly mold issues.

@raimundschwarzholz7576 13 дней назад

No mold if there's air flow

@fragout9575 13 дней назад

@@raimundschwarzholz7576 Mold can exist and grow without airflow. However, stagnant air can actually promote mold growth because it often coincides with high humidity and a lack of ventilation. Mold spores need moisture, organic material, and suitable temperatures to grow. In poorly ventilated areas, such as basements or behind walls, moisture can accumulate, creating an ideal environment for mold. While airflow can help to reduce moisture levels and disperse mold spores, preventing mold growth is more about controlling humidity and moisture levels rather than just ensuring proper airflow.

Water scarcity in Arizona. Using water to cool in the triple digit heat?

@Seathal 14 дней назад

This has been a thing forever. It's recicrculating sealed water. Look up radiant floor/surfaces and aerothermic heat pumps. They work in all environments and they do not use running water, but sealed circuits. Similar to water cooling in a computer.

@shower4all 8 дней назад

@@Seathal exactly, radiant floor heating and cooling with geothermal heat pumps are not new technology. Nor are misters.

@user-qv6ud2hx6f 14 дней назад

It could be better just to increase the roof mass and isolate it from direct sun - then it will cool down at nights and work during the day without any water cooling.

@rpdx3 6 дней назад

In other words, an underground house. Which would make sense in the desert. 👍

@ngana8755 2 дня назад

I would have liked a more detailed discussion on how Brian's passive cooling system works. There was a brief mention at the 4:54 min mark about the use of water pumped through the ceiling but the discussion was very cursory.

@FT__Home__Plants__etc___-go9rv 22 дня назад

That is a very cool house. I do wonder what the water consumption is compared to normal homes

@halfheart3360 9 дней назад

With all the open space inside and out right in the desert, I think bats, birds, coyotes, snakes, scorpions, and tarantulas would be issues.

That desert house wasn't cheap to build. It would easily have cost a couple of million (land cost included) to build. Even so, I would absolutely love to live in a house like that. But not a chance of that ever happening in what remains of my lifetime.

@annemiura7767 17 дней назад

Amazing excess. That’s the sort of “ sustainability “ that is a complete lie. Learn to live with less folks - even if you can afford everything you want.

@rpdx3 6 дней назад

And what if you *can* afford it? Obviously they can. It did sound like he repurposed things, and the lack of refrigerated cooling is extremely sustainable, despite the excess in other areas. This video looks to be a decade old or more. Extreme heat is increasing, even in Arizona, so it’d be interesting to see how these systems this guy built stand up.

The grapes are a bad idea. They bring insects, lots of them. And the worst would be ants. Those grape vines are bad near in the resting area, but on top?!😢
