Furu som ändrar fas på sin kåda vid rumstemperatur - håller temperaturen konstant i huset
Det innebär att materialet ka ta upp värmeenergi utan att tappa temperaturen, precis som nollgradig is. Den kan också avge mycket energi utan att tappa temperaturen, precis som nollgradigt vatten. Wozniak menar att detta är en elegant byggsten i ett energieffektivt hus. Woz är mycket för att göra så rena, enkla lösningar som möjligt, vare sig det gäller hus eller hårdvara.
You build a home out of a type of wood that keeps the temperature constant without air conditioning or heaters. The miracle wood in this category is Southern Yellow Pine. As for renewable resources, more Southern Yellow Pine trees are planted each year than are used. I'm told this is the only tree with this benefit. The Southern Yellow Pine has a resin inside that melts and freezes at 71 degrees F., a very comfortable temperature for humans. The chemical actions of melting and freezing work to balance the temperature. If it's a hot day, some small amount of the resin melts (it takes a huge amount of energy to melt a tiny amount) and the melting process pulls heat from the surroundings, from the home. When it gets colder at night, the resin-wood emits heat as it freezes.
