I am considering burying 300' of black plastic tile 48-60" in the ground and using Mother Earth to cool air brought into a well-insulated room.
The plan calls for an exhaust fan to pull air into the room through the buried tile.
(Fans would be used on the cattle as well)
I would think incoming air should be 55-60 degrees and adequate in keeping the room 20 degrees or more below ambient temperature during warm days.
A safety door or similar device would be needed in case of power outage.
Any comments?
You may ask why?
I'm looking for something simpler and cheaper than refrigeration.
The tile can be bought and installed for under $500.
An exhaust fan will run on 90% less energy than a compressor.
