This showed a variety of means for the purposes of heating, such as the stove and air conditioner as well as ways to have cool weather such as the cooling fan and air-Conditioner and others. Unfortunately, the industry revolution and that ways of heating and cooling affect negatively on the environment. So the world had started to fear from these effects and begansearching forsolutions to thisproblemand how tominimizetheir negative impacton the environmentsuch as searchingfor ways toreduce the problem ofthe Ozone holeand theharmfulsolar radiationenteringthe atmospherethroughthis holeand the resultingclimaticchanges. One of these solutions is to build environmentally friendly homes, and rely on renewable sources of energy such as solar and ground heat and others.
