dhaslam,
Thanks very much for posting to our forum!
Your post was quite good, and more detailed than many posts, but I want to know even more about your thermal store.
- Do you have any photos?
- What is the total volume?
- Do you have any idea how much heat you are able to store and reclaim?
- Is your thermal store an original idea, or is it common practice in your area?
- How are you storing & reclaiming energy?
Your above-ground earthen thermal store is the first I have heard of...
Best,
