Thermal labyrinth
The design of the new Energy Academy Europe building includes a labyrinth in the basement which will capture the heat of the day or the cool of the night, hold onto it and then slowly release this thermal energy to help warm or cool the building. You can follow the progress of the construction of the labyrinth here.
