Abstract
Sustainability in the residential energy sector will be difficult if not impossible to achieve without the ability to retrofit millions of existing buildings with affordable energy savings means and/or alternate renewable sources. Geosolar exergy storage technology (GEST) is presented here as a suggested means for simultaneously increasing the energy efficiency of the existing home and utilizing the on-site renewable energy sources.
