I'm building an "off the grid" home, I have less than 24 months before I begin construction. I live in southern Wisconsin where temperatures get into the 90's and humidity is high to -30 and no humidity. The home will be build on over a 100 acres and is on a ridge where there is wind. I plan on heating using active solar and earth pipes and wood. Wind for power and as money will allow PV cells for power. I have been looking strongly at papercrete for construction. I need to cool the home to 70 degrees on the hotest days. I have looked at absorption, wind powered compressors, earth pipes but I see no easy answer. I have limited funds, but there is a budget non the less. Anyone have advice on all the above?
