Season 20 · Episode 4
Kevin McCloud meets energy conservationist Andrew, who has decided to build a radical, self-heating home for his family - the first of its kind in the UK. He aims to heat the house all year round by storing the warmth of the summer sun into insulated earth banks over and around the house, and then drawing the warmth back into the living spaces in winter. However, this pioneering construction seems an exercise in trial and error from the start, and what began as a seemingly simple, pure concept becomes a complicated feat of engineering
